Favorite Legion
5
By Angela Kuri
I can’t assure you that your experience will be as endearing as mine, because this book is a great detailing of my (alternating between first and second) legion and Primarch. It’s a longer book, but honestly I couldn’t get enough of it, I love the Thousand Sons and their adoration and fixation on acquiring knowledge and helping humanity ascend to its next level. This may very well have been my saddest of books to finish just because all I wanted was more.
The book follows the legion from pre Warmaster Horus, to shortly after his fall, seeing it from a birds eye (pun intended) view. Getting to see Ullanor and the Council of Nikea first hand was a welcome first, shedding some insight on what transpired at both. Magnus shares a closer bond with the Emperor than a great many others due to their understanding of the Warp, and seeing Magnus’s fall and mistakes, his being manipulated from the start, was all too heart breaking.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this read and highly recommend to anyone continuing the Horus Heresy Series, or just doing a a dive on Thousand Sons/Magnus lore
