Pretty hefty. It was on the shelf and I figured I I didn't buy it now someone would realize their mistake and put it in the backroom.

I don't know why wet leopard-growl became the only phrase people remember from Prospero Burns when "radapple" appeared at least as often.

The radapple fell like a bad star. In the distance, a radapple was playing an old clavier. "We have been waiting for you," the radapple hissed.

Woof. Not that I'll get Warhammer Plus (since apparently you can't in Canada) but that is one hell of a good Trazyn.

You absolutely can get Warhammer Plus in Canada; I've been a subscriber for a couple of years (mostly for the sweet, sweet miniatures though the year 3 options are uninspiring to the degree that I will likely unsubscribe).

It has a definite momentum to it and manages to keep the pace up despite flipping between so many ongoing story threads. Relentless would be the word.

Finished. It's been a long, looooong time since i read a whole book in a single day. I'll have a longer write up later but for now, a line. Big rear end spoilers by the way so don't read if you intend to go in blind.

The End and the Death Volume III, Page 400:

There is no redemption, for the time for that is long passed. There is only resignation.

And in the end, it's just a man killing his son with a stone.

The blade slides out and turns to dust. The body falls.

And then the galaxy burns.


Abnett managed to write an ending. A big loving ending.

Zahariel is confirmed to be Cypher.

Erebus murders Garviel Loken after Horus's death to ensure the Sons of Horus flee and perpetuate the next 10,000 years of misery rather than ask for amnesty from Dorn or Guilliman.

Actae and Katt fuse into a new body and assume the name Katerina Moriana, Katt's actual name. Moriana is the source of the "legend" of Ollanius the Pious

The mystery of who stood before Horus is confirmed to be a Guardsman, a Marine and a Custodes, with Olly, Leetu and Dusk taking their turns standing before Horus according to a drawing of the Imperial Tarot

The ENTIRE Blood Angels Legion gets hit with the Black Rage simultaneously upon Sanguinius's death and they're only brought out of it by the sheer violence of realspace reasserting itself after the deathblow to Horus. If the Warp didn't recede its likely the entire chapter would be dead and their recovery was a fluke.

Basilio Fo murders Xanthus and assumes his identity using a cloned body after tricking Andromeda-17 and Amon into thinking he was escaping so he can continue to do mad science in the aftermath of the Siege.

The record keeper who is in the Library of Leng with Sindermann and Mauer as Ahriman reads out a tarot is none other than Lilean Chase.
