The hope before the crash

This book isn’t so much a narrative plot where you have a conclusive beginning middle and end. It’s really a impression of the Imperium before the Heresy. To that end, it’s tinged with sadness as you know the inevitable conclusion. Still, a interesting read and would recommend.

A good foundation of lore

Clearly heavily influenced by starship troopers, but good. It sets up the Warhammer universe quite well.

Amazing story and good performance

Really enjoyed the story and going to continue.
The acting didn't always feel consistent but overall very enjoyable.

Great narration and powerful worldbuilding story

This is just the first part of a long and epic tale of the Horus Heresy, and it does a damn good job start to finish of sowing the seeds and setting the stage for the later events that would shake the foundations of a universe.

epic. large. huge.

authors voice really helps to add to the epicness that is the start of the series
