The Path of Heaven

The Horus Heresy, Book 36

De: Chris Wraight

Narrado por: John Banks

For too long had the Vth Legion ranged out beyond the sight of the wider Imperium, remaining ignorant of the Warmaster's rebellion and the war that inevitably followed.

Only once their primarch, Jaghatai Khan, had satisfied himself that the path before them was just and true did the White Scars choose a side, taking the fight to the traitors on every front. But, four years later, the Legion's unfettered spirit has been broken by relentless attritional warfare against the Death Guard and the Emperor's Children - the Khan's Stormseers must find a clear route to Terra if they are to take part in the final, apocalyptic battle.

fantastic

This book answers many questions. If you are a fan of the white scars you need to hear it.

Excellent story

This book is my favorite Warhammer story, and the performance was perfection itself. Incredible action, tightly plotted story, superb characters.

Great Addition to the Series

If you are a fan of the White Scars legion, this is the book for you.

Beautiful

Great voice acting, beautifully written, dramatic and riveting. Got to be one of my favorites of the HH series.

The beginning act was amazing. Thrust right into a battle after a short intro on the progress of the war.

I liked everything about it. Some of the heresy novels struggle to keep up with the actual war and go on side tangents but not this. Especially in the beginning, you get this theme of desperation on both sides. The WS are desperately trying to escape to terra after long years of guerilla warfare, only know the enemy has caught on to their tactics. The EC are slowly falling into depravity. The small squads left are struggling to hold their sanity, looking for a final battle of honor and perfection before they souls are taken.

only 1 issue

The only problem was the narrator struggling to separate space wolf and white scar accents while speaking. Not a huge problem though.

Narration Was a Let Down

Idk what was going on with Chris. I've listened to a few other books he narrated, and they were all fine. This time his performance was a big let down. MANY of the characters sound exactly the same and more than a few scenes with them all talking together.

Beyond the narration, the story was good overall. A few extremely odd descriptions of things, but I don't really get hung up over stuff like that.

If you're listening through the HH series, this book was one of the good ones. Not great, but good.

Not skippable

great listen, slow start with a strong ending. Tells a lot about the white scars and leads into their next part in the story

Got better as it went

Started slow and slog again but this one really pulled together towards the climax and added valuable information regarding several topics. I accept this book as a B+

I really like Jagatai and the White Scars

I didn't expect to like this book especially since the Death Guard and the Emporer's Degenerates play a prominent role. The characters make it for me.
