One of the things I love about all Black Library novels is that they include a list of all of the important characters right upfront. And now I’m looking forward to getting onto to the next novel in the series (but more on that later). Dan Abnett did a fantastic job of making the world approachable for everyone, it feels like. I had zero problems following along with the lore, setting, or characters. But I am so glad that I’ve started down this path. That’s partially because I was concerned that I wouldn’t know enough about the setting or characters, and partially because of how massive this series is. I’ll confess that I was a little bit intimidated to start Horus Rising.

While it was full of beefy men tearing through their enemies, it also carried with it a certain amount of complexity and elegance. Horus Rising was a surprisingly complex and elegantly written novel. “There was a great tragedy implicit in the tale of the Emperor’s murder, a tragedy that Loken always wanted his listeners to appreciate.” All of these events are dramatic in nature – as they should be, since it required the Luna Wolves to respond.

This was an event (or rather, series of events) that impacted a massive amount of the universe. And no, I’m not just talking about the number of books in the series (though there is that). The Horus Heresy is arguably one of the biggest events to happen in the lore of Warhammer 40,000. There’s really no need to know more about the lore within this world, as it’ll make a point of teaching you everything you need to know about it. That being said, I think that Horus Rising makes for a perfect introductory novel. And yes, it is a massive series in an even larger world. Horus Rising is the first novel in the Horus Heresy series from the world of Warhammer 40,000.
