Edit: Someone pointed out to me that there are readers start this series without knowing what Warhammer 40k is and that for such reader this review might contain spoilers. So if you are completely unfamiliar with Warhammer 40k avoid this and reviews for this series in general. /editStill not sure if this book is better or worse than first one but it's still a bloody good fun. Writing in this book is notch bellow first one. So far I got the impression that Abnett is better writer than McNeil, his dialogs and characters where more enjoyable. On the other hand story in this book is at much more interesting place. Horus rising was more of prolog while this book deals with events that lead to Horus becoming aligned with Chaos and starts setting the stage for the main events and great civil war to follow. We finally get to learn more about gods of chaos, emperor and see how deep corruption has spread through Imperium. Again there are some well written fights and I especially liked how adequately disgusting are descriptions of Nurgle's (God of death, decay and disease) forces. Warning don't read that part before meal.
