Fulgrim: The Horus Heresy, Book 5

Not much to say, making my way through the Horus Heresy. Same event from different perspectives paints an amazingly grimdark picture!

Best HH book so far

Great story of Fulgrim during, before and after the fall of Horus to Chaos. Establishes Fulgrims character quite well, with many well developed moments with his Legion and followers. My only main complaint I have with this novel is the ending felt rushed. One chapter we're cruising along nicely with details and lore, the next chapter we are at the ending battle. Didn't feel right upon reading, but not totally ruined because of this. Also great development of brotherhood and friendship between Fulgrim and Ferrus Manus. Good lore between the two of them that really gives the feeling of love and care between two brothers. Overall great entry, only complaint again is the rushed ending.

This book started slow but built up into a solid foundation of chaos that dives into the changes of a god. It is perfection.

One of my favorite Horus Heresy books. Fulgrim’s fall is quite tragic.

The Fall of the Emperor’s Children should a be a tragedy of a Primarch fooled by dark powers. But Fulgrim had hundreds of chances to turn back. Overall the book provided a strong overview of the fall of the Legion to chaos but I felt that Fulgrim’s character could have been handled better. His lack of introspection of a new voice in his head after hundreds of years of life just baffles me. Clearly this is the power of chaos and it’s influence but there are ways to use this story telling device without making Fulgrim appear stupid in my opinion.

This epic is as tragic as it is glorious. In this tale, we see the heresy reach its true starting point, where all other books of the Horus Heresy flow from this as the spokes of a wheel radiate out from a central point of origin. You will experience the character of many primarchs and feel the changing fates of both sides of this galactic struggle.

In the battle between good and evil, I prefer that good wins. The demons of the warp are taking over.

Good book I'm not a fan of the emperors children or their primarch they just seem like spoilt brats that think they are perfect but all in all its a good book and the last few chapters progress the main story line too so I'd recommend reading book one through five before skipping around.

Finished reading the book a few days ago. I did enjoy it.

Bit of a slow a start but the second half of it wow amazing book. Really enjoyed it, onto the next one!

Sono ormai un appassionato di questa saga dell’Eresia di Horus. L’inizio di Fulgrim, dall’inizio della sua decadenza o sua ascesa, a seconda di come lo si odi o lo si ami. Inizia il tutto dal Sistema Laer dal pianeta Atoll 19. Fenomenale!

Una historia increíble, y el personaje de Fulgrim el mejor. Libro 100% recomendable aunque no hayas leído la herejía.
