Book Review: Fulgrim (Horus Heresy Series)

This book talks about the fall of Fulgrim and his legion, Emperor's Children.. The book paints Fulgrim, the primarch of the Emperor's Children Legion as a perfectionist.. Everything abou Fulgrim is perfect.. His looks, his music-like voice, even when he fights, Fulgrim will bring awe on all those who laid eyes on him.. However, it is because of this pride of his perfection that brings him to the side of Chaos..

This story also shows the brotherhood Fulgrim shares with the primarch of the Iron Hands, Ferrus Manus.. Graham McNeil has done a good job as you can literally feel the love between these 2 brothers as they meet up.. As Fulgrim betrays the Emperor, you can also feel the hurt and the rage boiling within Ferrus Manus..

What I love about this book is finally I can get some insights on the Horus Heresy, how the battle Isstvan V played out and I got to read about a few primarchs in battle!

What I hate is, I really hate the Emperor's Children now.. They are annoying from the start.. Perfection this, perfection that.. They are more nobles than warriors.. Extremely sadistic after being corrupted.. Too much emotions involved (they are corrupted by Slaneesh, so.. not much complaints about that)..

Rating 6/10 (my 1st book review in half a year.. so forgive me if it's a bit lousy.. xD)
