I Am Slaughter by Dan Abnett
5.0
Great Start to the Waaaaghus Heresy
I had some trepidation picking this up and don't think I would have if I hadn't grabbed it in a sale and was finally going through my backlog, but this was a genuinely great start to an event series and I actually want to check the rest out now.
While it's impossible to replicate the Dark King and the Lightning Tower in a bottle of the Horus Heresy with it's history, characters, mythology, and the rest, this has great writing with a mix of perspectives, locations, and action with the absolute shambles of the aristocratic fascist Council of Terra and it's many unfriendly appendages.
I can only hope the rest of the series is as good.
I'm a total Toby Longworth fangirl, but I always forget how great Gareth Armstrong is and this is fantastic performance.
