review 1: Oh man, I have always been a fan of Mr. Swallow's, especially his Blood Angels, but this novel left me speechless. Now that it has been a few hours, I can really put into words how and why I loved it. Firstly, the variety of character within the Blood Angels was remarkable. From First Captain Ral. and Fifth Captain Amit, to Sargent Cessiel and his squad, and the dozens of Blood Angels I didn't mention, they all had their own unique character. Which was a blessing for the noble boys in Red. I really liked how the Blood Angels were portrayed as well. They all had a kind of edge to them, each one different, but you could really tell that there was a darkness beneath all of that amazing skill and nobility. I think it would have been interesting to go more into the culture of t... morehe Blood Angels that WASN'T the twin curses(like in Swallows other BA works, they were talented painters or sculptors,etc.) but I think that the twin curses were as much the main characters of this novel as the Blood Angels Legion and the Angel himself. So I completely understand, and it definitely doesn't take away from the series, it's just something I would have liked to see.And Sanguinius. The Angel. So much like his sons, but so much above them. Oh man, he was amazingly done. He was one of the primarchs that actually made me step back in awe, which certainly didn't happen with The Lion, or Dorn, or Rowboat. The Angel was just amazing. Getting to see Fulgrim worthy perfection, and then that perfection become the definition of wrath was awesome. I really hope we get to see more of the Blood Angels with Mr. Swallow at the helm!*And it was a dream come true to see Amit during his glory days in the Blood Angels, before he founded the Flesh Tearers! I can't wait to see more of him!
review 2: Another fine entry in the series. I think the Blood Angels have always been something of a fan favorite and since this is their first appearance in the Horus Heresy, I personally was very excited. however, while the story was good, there was nothing special about it. And its impossible to forget that this is book 21 out of... who knows? I love the Horus Heresy but the tale has got to end one of these days. And the sooner the better. less
