The First Heretic

The Word Bearers are actually likeable!

I've read about 10 books and the Word Bearers are always painted in a fanatical chaos light. However, I was surprised that the characters in this book were the funniest and most likable of all the legions thus far. That's what makes their fall all that much sadder. Like the Thousand Sons their fall to chaos is a tragedy.

Critical piece of lore

Great story, great narration. One tiny gripe is the narrators portrayal of the femal voice. It's kind of... Silly. Still, a very good story overall

An Excellent Intro to the Word Bearers

This is one arc of the Horus Heresy that I knew very little about. Now, I am hooked and can't wait to start Know No Fear. I personally didn't like how it jumps around at times, but once is I finished I see now that it needed to complete the story. Overall, this is a great book, and another awesome reading by Gareth Armstrong.

Oh Lorgar....

Loved the book, a very cool look into a legions fall and their gene loyalty

But oh Lorgar you loathsome piece of piss, you who think of yourself as compassionet, yet sacrifice your own Sons in your desperat quest, you who betray your Sons, just as you feel betrayed by the Emperor (although he, as always, does seems like a grade A arse)... And worst of all, You a Primarch let yourself be manipulated by your own Son and a Mortal... Oh Lorgar you weakest of Primarchs... I Body , Mind and Soul....

First Heretic Review

The story follows Argel Tal and the Serrated Sun Chapter from the ashes Monarchia to the Eye of Terror and then Isstvan V.

Mind blowing for 40k fans.

Tons of revelations and so many key moments that defined and even redefined 40k forever.

A must read.

one of the best books in the HH series, penned by its bes author of traitors.

Among the best in an amazing series

I’ve read the entire series and The First Heretic is top tier Horus Heresy. Simply amazing. By turns epic and tragic. Essential sci-fi.

Man....I hate Lorgar

Great book if you love WB. I personally hate them and still found the book to be good. The ending is awesome

WOW!

No joke this was an intense one to go through! The outcome may be known, but you really do start to feel for the characters after some time. Happy to finally have some more info on the Drop Site Massacre as well! Overall, this was one of the best on this series so far!
