A must-read for fans of the Horus Heresy.
This really was a great book. I've heard friends and podcasts suggest that some people do not like this book, and it seems their dislike is centered around two things: they don't like the Emperor's Children; the book is slow.
First off, I am not a fan of the Emperor's Children at all. But this book still presented an interesting plot, a compelling backstory explaining their fall to Chaos, and other insight and information that fits in with the larger picture of the HH. To me, this book is worth it alone for the interactions between Fulgrim and Ferrus.
About the book being slow, I guess you could say that if you can only stand to read about things blowing up non-stop. I was actually taken through a range of emotions reading this book, and it is the first book in the HH series so far that has actually cause me to think philosophically in terms of questioning the morality of the characters and then transferring those questions to reality. There was still tons of action, including three massive battles that take place at different points in the book, and a few different duels that were awesome.
Bottom line: "Fulgrim" successfully elicited several emotional reactions from me, it held my interest, I felt compelled to read the whole thing, and I immediately continued on with the next book when it was done. It won't be one of my personal favorites in the series because I really don't like Slaanesh, but this is a good book that interesting and is worth reading.
