About this listen
After the razing of Prospero, Magnus the Red spirited the Thousand Sons away to the aptly unnamed Planet of the Sorcerers, deep within the Eye of Terror.
Removed from the concerns of the galaxy at large and regarding the Warmaster's unfolding Heresy with cold detachment, he has dedicated his hollow existence to the preservation of all the knowledge once held in the great libraries of Tizca, should mankind ever seek such enlightenment again. But his sons can see the change in their primarch - he is a broken soul whose mind and memories are slipping away into the tumult of the warp.
Only by returning to the scenes of his greatest triumphs and tragedies can they hope to restore him and allow the Crimson King to be crowned anew by the Ruinous Powers

A cinematic experience
Best book so far. It feels like it just keeps getting bettet everytime I go through this book. The book feels like a movie, no dull moment. The pace is great and the story is well detailed.

Fantastic read
I always felt sad for the Thousand Sons as they were loyal and got screwed over and have always wondered why Magnus decided to fight his father.
Wonderfully detailed story about Magnus and what makes him tick.

Another classic from the Horus Heresy series.
Really enjoyed this, great story and great insight into the Heresy Ahriman and Magnus. There were times it felt like it was a bit meandering, but everything snaps back to an explosive climax.

Good story
A good story really well told. Its a bit one sided with the thousand sons being competitively easy to dispatch and inferior to the other astartes, which given this is a thousand son specific book, is a bit annoying. But definitely worth a credit.

Great......
.....but also flawed. Definitely not one to miss in the Heresy. Great narration as always. Story just suffers slightly in the middle before building to a fairly swift resolution.

'words Words WORDS'
A study aid when reading Shakespeare, along with 'a play within a play', or more to the point 'a battle within a battle' and 'repetition for emphasis' all can be used to great effect. I felt the story a little longer then it needed to be but would have no clue as to what I would need to leave out but I was glad to get to the end. But I can't and won't take anything away from Graham McNeill who has us spellbound from the start and of course leaves it wide open for another instalment which I hope won't be too long to wait for. This frameless is in little doubt as to who has returned and I think that the Galaxy will be all the more interesting for it. Jonathan Keeble gives us a masterclass in narration. You won't be disappointed.

Pretty good
The pacing is off and the plot is, of course, needlessly convoluted but it’s still a decent listen
