Book Reviews of the Fulgrim (Warhammer 40,000 Novels: Horus Heresy)
Customer Review: Dissapointing, with some good moments
Summary: 2 Stars
This latest novel in the Horus Heresy series felt very rushed. McNeill (whose other Warhammer books are generally very good) seems to be wandering through the narrative; he spends pages and pages on an uninteresting relationship between two rememberancers, yet the central story of Fulgrim's descent into heresy feels underdone. McNeill also succumbs to some writer's tics. He tends to repeat himself, even within sentences, and his dialog strives so hard for grandiosity that it often ends up sounding silly. His characters also "punch the air" frequently when they're excited - this makes them seem less like grim superhuman warriors and more like pro wrestlers. A few memorable scenes show McNeill's talents, but despite its apocalyptic subject this novel is surprisingly boring.
