Great Book!

I am relieved!
Several Black Library offerings recently have been less than stellar. This work from Graham McNeill breaks that streak.

Keeble's narration is nearly flawless.

McNeill is reliably canon, detail oriented, and every one of his stories builds in intensity and tempo until the end.

For the experienced GW reader, you get a lot of solid lore and detail. For the newer reader, McNeill provides a look into the mind and heart of all the players.

It is easy to forget the quality of an author when you read a lot of books and haven't read one of their offerings in a while. I was just reminded of why I love the work of Graham McNeill!

I've been waiting for this

I've always liked the 15th legion. This story was vindicating and shows that Magnus was practically forced to betray the Emperor.

Weak

Insultingly bad. Not just to me, but to Magnus. He is one of the most interesting characters in the 40k universe and for his role in the Horus Heresy to be concluded in such an insubstantial and flimsy way is just.... disappointing.

Magnus is still a idiot

Magnus had the chance for everything he wanted and he gave it away for the handful legionaries had have left. Bold move Cotten. Let’s see how this plays out for the next 10 millennium.

Magnificent!

Another beautiful, poignant chapter in this rich universe. I was captivated from the first sentence and not released until the very end. The writing and narration are top notch, as always. Highly recommended to anyone who's made it through the rest of the Siege of Terra series.

so much build up, but no payoff

One really can skip this book. It does a great job painting the devastation of this war. The ending really didn't sit well with me. It was predictable, wanting more, and just short.

story: The big E being so old and wise really needs to take a basic sales class. I mean come on. sure let's help find a way to help Magnus sons. Y not? Just keep an eye on them and not have them as enemies. so much build up and sacrifice to not find a basic solution. ugggghhh, Just disappointing

An End and A Beginning

I love the Thousand Sons and have ravenously devoured all books related to them. Fury of Magnus weaves the many threads and characters from the Horus Heresy series that relate to the 15th Legion together and makes deft acknowledgement of the books and details from the 40K period books as well. Critically, it finds a satisfying way to present the long missing piece of how the Thousand Sons truly fell to Chaos. How the melancholic did Magnus and the Legion evolve into the evil warlocks of the 41st Millennium? Great wrongs done to them and impossible choices given lead them to the dark roads of the future in a fully satisfying way. Highly recommend you read Magnus the Red, Legion, False Gods, A Galaxy in Flames, Thousand Sons, Scars, A Path to Heaven, Vengeful Spirit, Crimson King, Master of Mankind, Slaves to Darkness, Solar War, Lost and the Damned, Saturnine, and then Fury of Magnus so that you can trace the narrative and characters more fully.

Best Book in the Seige of Terra

This is surprisingly better than Saturnine in terms of both plot and narration. Nuff said

Fantastic!

I expected to like this story.


instead I loved it. a strong recommend most definitely.

Great Tragedy, Magnus had done nothing wrong .

Great character interaction and descriptions. Magnus tends to steal the show when he's in a scene so if your looking for a Magnus book this is it. Good character motivations, and interconnecting plots. Really great dialogue and some awesome quotes. Beautiful depiction of the brutal scenery. very little wrong with the book only that it's a bit short but it is very dense.
