Very satisfying to finally read this. Thought it was well written and thought out, yet achieved the objective of the author to “retain the mystery”

Bittersweet. Abnett delivered. My thoughts are that there will be a sequel series dealing with Mars, and where the loyal primarchs go next.

An amazing ending to an amazing series.

There are bound to be critics as this novel is anything but perfect. It delivers the most monumental narrative in the Warhammer 40,000 mythos, and yes, it delivers. It eclipses the prior 2 parts, with a much better flowing narrative, although it is still weighed down by plot points that could’ve been reserved for novella. It isn’t a tedious read like Part 2 was, nor is it some Hugo winning masterpiece, but it is a satisfying conclusion to a series many of us have been reading for the better part of two decades. Like the heresy series as a whole it has its ups and downs but it never reaches the pits of several of the series novels, while also not eclipsing the better stories in the series. It’s a fine book, delivering on a moment that is impossible to satisfy everyone’s expectations with. Dan Abnett succeeded in delivering a monumental ending, with the weight of impossible expectations.
