After the betrayal at Isstvan, Horus begins his campaign against the Emperor, a galaxy-wide war that can lead only to Terra. But the road to the final confrontation between father and son is a long one - seven years filled with secrecy and silence, plans and foundations being formed across distant stars.

Story
After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Of all the Emperor’s sons who fell to Chaos, it is perhaps Magnus the Red whose tale is the most tragic. Sanctioned because of his desire for knowledge, chastised, judged, and shattered to his very elements – there is much for the Crimson King to feel vengeful for. Yet revenge is not the only thing that draws him to Terra alongside the Warmaster’s besieging armies. He seeks something, a fragment, the missing piece of himself that lies within the most impregnable place on the planet – the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace.

Skips over the burning of Prospero
It's a good story and a good view into the history of the Space Wolves. But for a book titled Prospero Burns, you expect a good account of the Space Wolves attack on Prospero. That is missing here. The attack on Prospero is reduced to literally just a few lines.
If you're looking for the attack on Prospero, the book you want is A Thousand Sons.

Not What I Expected But Good in its Own Way
First off, Prospero Burns is NOT a bad book. I found the story very engaging and it tells a lot about the culture of Fenris and the Space Wolves. This book is packed with suspense.
But all that being said, I don't think it belongs in the cover it's in. This seems like more of a prelude to the Burning of Prospero, rather than a book about it. If you want to read about the Space Wolves, this book is an essential read. If you want to learn about them in action, it's a very good book, the Battle scenes are very well written and narrated. But the actual Burning of Prospero takes up very little of the book so if that's what you're after you may be let down.
But as I said before, this is a very nice story and if you're looking for a compelling listen this book will not let you down.

Not about the burning of prospero
it was well performed but it was Not about a character or story I cared about. It's about a random human who joins the Rout as a skjald. he is not an interesting character and we don't spend more than an hour on prospero. When we do get to prospero the story focuses not on the tragedy of Magnus or on Russ' feelings but on the main character's back story. total waste of a good setting.

Seems odd at first but the wait is worth it
About 3/4 of the way through the story everything unfolds and becomes well worth the wait. If it doesn’t make full sense in the beginning just wait for it. The end is great and not what you think it will be.

That last chapter. Wow!
I struggled to get into the book at the start and had to restart entire chapters cause I realized I hadn't even been listening.
once immersed though following along as, step by step, battle by battle, Kasper becomes one of the Vlka Fenryka. You don't realize it until the last chapter that you kinda feel like you'te part of the pack also as the Skald tells one of his best accounts.
that last chapter is amazing!

There ARE wolves on fenris
So the most common criticism that prospers burns gets is that the burning of prospero is barely present. And yeah that’s valid but I don’t think that was the point of the book. It’s supposed to be the spacewolves version of a thousand sons. Showing the legion in a sympathetic light through a human character. We see their culture and why they fight the way they do. Every character is easy to get behind even the most gruff. Kasper Hawser is an amazing human character interesting in how deep he gets into the culture of fenris and the vlka fenryka.

Meh, it's OK, gets better.
I'm not sure if it's the distraction of a global pandemic but while I normally love Dan Abnett's stuff I was underwhelmed by this one. It possibly is better read than listened to as I found the transitions between intertwined "current time " and "flashback" really hard to track in the first sections and an annoying audio burble was present on some of the narration. Adds a little overall to the heresy story. The last third the narrator becomes more of a storyteller (no spoilers, it makes sense) and that does transform how the story flows. Last third ,very good.

“There are no leopards on Fenris...”
Prospero burns...slowly, painfully slowly at times!
I still found this an endearing journey into wolf lore, fluff and gore.
Probably a series favourite now I’ve made it through the fight.
I feel a strong urge to swing an axe.

after completing the horus herecy books I looked to this to add more depth to the story and it didn't disappoint!. plot twists and several revelations building on what I've learned already make it a must read for anyone interested in the fall of horus and the creation of the imperium as we know it!. however, thousand sons players such as myself beware, it's not an easy final 3 chapters to listen to!

A good introduction to the Space Wolves Legion
Although the Burning of Prospero makes up only the last 10 percent of the novel, it is nevertheless a good introduction to the 6th Legion's culture and way of war. A must read for anyone interested in the Space Wolves before they turned into the cartoonish caricatures they are presented as in 40k.

I really enjoy the WH40k books but this one is a bit hit and miss. The performance is good but the story is slow to start and does not contain as much action as the others and the linkage to the wider heresy is only brought in right at the end.

Nothing to do with Prospero
This is an ok story if you like space wolves. It has nothing to do with Prospero or the thousand sons. It ignores prospero and tells its own story. It is also terrible compared to the thousand sons book it is supposed to mirror, which is amazing.

An absolute struggle to finish
I found this one an absolute struggle to finish, more than any Horus Heresy book thus far. Unless you're a die-hard Space Wolves fan, skip and read the plot points online. Super disappointing.

don't even bother
what an utter amateur mess. GW should recall and rewrite this title. Completely uninspired and confused space hulk of words and ideas

Excellent story, slow burn
The story takes a while to get going (I found the first four chapters to be quite a drag and the chapters are long). The payoff in the end ended up being worth it though. if I had reviewed the book half way through I would've given it a 3 for story but I recommend sticking it out.
narration was beautiful, much better than Thousand Sons though there was much less lore revealed. Do not listen without listening to Thousand Sons first.

One of the best Warhammer books I've read yet
An incredible tale, clever and thoughtful. I will not forget this account.
I did not like the Space Wolves before I read this book. Now I love them.

A beautifully grim tale.
Of all the horus heresy novels I've enjoyed in the series prior to this The burning of Prospero is possibly the most beautifully written. An absolute delight to listen to. Grim but full of whimsy.

Comes together in the end
Thought the first two thirds~ meandered a bit but really comes together from Nikaea on

Not about Prospero
Pros:
Good narration as usual. Lemun Russ and Fulgrim appearances (even though short lived). Good story development.
Cons:
Only one actual chapter on the fight from a human's bias perspective who inherently despises the thousand sons because he is cuckolding for the wolves. Lemun Russ appearance is wack, basically painted him as a 2D savage.
The whole book is based around a terran official who ventures to Prospero to document a new account. Through this he learns of the wolves customs and grows to be accepted. Twist in the book is okay. Wouldn't listen to again, not a terrible story just not essential in any way shape or form. Thousand Sons novel was much better than this one and actually accounts for why and what occurred prior to and after Prospero.
