A Primarchs Novel
"I have always been the master of wretches, and have learned from that. I am a wretch myself, a non-standard. To purify and to transform – that has been our gift."
Sanguinius, the very image of an angel, has chosen to obscure the origins of his Legion, and prevents outsiders from setting foot on his home world. A remembrancer attempts to discover why.
Listen to it because...
The 17th instalment of the Horus Heresy Primarchs series offers a glimpse of the Blood Angels Legion – and its celebrated primarch – from the outside, as we peer into the shrouded secrets of its past.
The story:
Sanguinius is the Great Angel, most beloved of all the primarchs, his mighty exploits celebrated throughout the entire Imperium as the Crusade expands into the void. And yet the origins of his Legion are shrouded in mystery and rumour, his unique physical form is an enigma, and his perilous home world remains off-limits to all but his own secretive people.
When a discredited remembrancer arrives with the expeditionary fleets to chronicle the primarch’s deeds, he has to work hard to uncover the truth behind the legends. As he accompanies the \\IX Legion to war against the enemies of the Emperor, the curious scholar comes to learn much more than he expected – not just about the subjects of his study, but also the nature of the Imperium itself.

in other words, it’s a great novel, but didn’t deliver on the expectations I believe most readers would have of a book like this… A close look into the mind of the great angel. What we get instead is a journalist trying to understand him, which, though compelling, isn’t what most people sign up up for when they buy a primarch book. Still, a lovely read.
not what I expected, but still loved it

So this book takes place just before the Fear to Tread book. It follows a remembrancer chronicling the culture and mannerisms of the Blood Angels + Sanguinius. I would recommend this to any Blood Angels fan. And the descriptions by the remembrancer are just great. It could be that the Warhammer writers have gotten very good at what they do over the years but the MC is very prosaic. He gives a picture of what it is like to behold Sanguinius and his sons, both in their quiet moments of peace and their wrathful fury. I honestly liked this book more than their first novel in the HH, Fear to Tread just because of how good the author is his words. Plus there are hints at something darker within the blood of the sons of Sanguinius. oooo foreshadowing
Interesting look at Crusade-Era Blood Angels!

we have probably the most relatable POV character with the remembrancer.
having the story mostly told through his eyes gave it a unique feel.
I thought that I would be upset with how short the story is but I think it was the exact perfect link for what they were trying to tell.
((and without spoiling it there's a sort of pseudo-villain which I despise! but in the way that you're supposed to despise a villain.))
all in all if you're a blood angels fan it's definitely worth to listen.
simply breathtaking.
