this book is worth it just for Sevatar

the rest of these stories are fine. but ADB rendition of the prince of crows is worth the money

Really nice selection of novellas

The story of Sevatar narrated by the always brilliant Keeble stands out. Overall a nice sidestep from the long novels of the series

A slog through the night lords

As I have made my way through the heresy, generally whatever legion I just read through becomes my new favorite. Yes even the traitor legions. However, the night lords just suck. They are evil for the sake of evil. Kurze was flaying and eating people as a child with no reason given other than he was an orphan. No character development happens. The motivation for characters to do anything boils down to "because I'm evil and I enjoy doing evil things". By the end of the book I was rooting for the Dark Angels to finish off the Night Lords for good.

Great set of stories

I like all of the stories, though I felt like a few of the middle ones were to short. Until I realized how they all sort of meshed together and gave Illumination to previous books in the series. I specifically loved the last story with Sevatar, after listening to the Talos trilogy im so happy I got to hear something from his unique perspective

Best anthology so far

I’m slogging my way through the HH in release order. This is the best anthology I’ve come across so far in the series. You’ll love it, ESPECIALLY if you like night lords and or imperial fists.
