My Favorite Horus Heresy Anthology So Far
This is a solid collection of short stories set in the Horus Heresy series.I loved every one of these.The Last Church was my favorite (and probably my favorite HH short story altogether). Almost the entire story is just a really interesting conversation.The Voice packs a punch, especially with the narration by Emma Gregory. It's nice to see more of the Silent Sisters.Blood Games was a really fun story with an unexpected turn.Wolf at the Door broke my heart for our Space Wolves.Scions of the Storm is honestly an interesting look at the Word Bearers. I don't love that legion but this was a good little window into why they are like they are.Call of the Lion is a bit of a sad tale about two different ways to handle a situation.And After Desh'ea. After Desh'ea is right behind The Last Church for me. I have such a soft spot for characters like Angron and I love how this one explores him more than others I've read. Usually he's presented as this silly, nearly-mindless ball of anger but this is the loveliest little peek into who he is. And it's from when he and his legion get to meet one another. It may actually be tied with The Last Church for me; I'll have to process it a little more.If you love Science Fantasy (or love Science Fiction and Fantasy and, like me, didn't know there was a crossover genre before) I cannot recommend the Horus Heresy series enough.
