Book Reviews of False Gods: The Heresy Takes Root (The Horus Heresy)
Book Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
"Horus Rising" was a superb introduction for Horus and his Lunar Wolves. As one might expect, every space marine character, from Horus himself to Loken, to the various remembrancers (Karkasy, for example), had a unique personality. I enjoyed the way the space marines in particular continuously demonstrated maturity in both thought and action that is above the human standard. Knowing the basic historical facts of Horus's fall (knowing that it happens) didn't keep me from wondering how it could possibly occur in one so disciplined and wise. Abnett very successfully set the stage for Horus' descent into chaos.
I'm not sure what happened between that book, though, and this one. Horus goes from being a very intelligent and wise father-like figure (the ideal leader and everything I imagine a Primarch would be) to a whining child-like victim. There's no transition and no explanation. G.M. just isn't the writer that D.A. is and I quit the book at Horus's first appearance - his conversation with Maloghurst.
Summary of False Gods: The Heresy Takes Root (The Horus Heresy)
The human Imperium stands at its height of glory - thousands of worlds have been brought to heel by the conquering armies of mankind. At the peak of his powers, Warmaster Horus wields absolute control - but can even he resist the corrupting whispers of Chaos?War Books
