Si bien el libro anterior no me gustó por su estilo de escritura, este libro es su complemento perfecto. Casi tres cuartos del libro retratan los mismos hechos decisivos en torno a Isstvan III que se desarrollan en _False Gods,_ pero esta vez desde la perspectiva de la XIV legión. Al entregar una segunda perspectiva al momento culmine de la herejía de Horus, se logra enriquecer mucho más sus minucias, entregando una visión más compleja de las partes involucradas y las reacciones ante el suceso. La escritura es lineal, pero cada capítulo está cargado de giros y sorpresas, buen desarrollo de personajes, y siempre con detalles interesantes que se van revelando sobre el funcionamiento de las legiones, sus naves, su funcionamiento interno y, por supuesto, del universo. Los personajes están bien escritos, tienen claras personalidades, y se valoran las interacciones extendidas que tienen consecuencias en sus comportamientos y en la trama. Finalmente, la calidad de la escritura es bastante mayor a la de los libros anteriores, con gran capacidad de producir imágenes y comunicar emociones, y destacan los tonos navales e incluso marítimos que enriquecen una trama casi totalmente llevada a cabo en el espacio.

Love seeing the same situation from different perspectives. Starting where the last one left us off this book was a nice shift of a much ser story with universal repercussions.
The world has captured me.

As I'm wrapping up Galaxy in Flames, I'm hit with a sole reticent thought: "Should I just skip to a new series? Go straight into Siege of Terra or even Beast Arises?". I didn't think there would be that much more to flesh out from the Horus Heresy arc that warranted further dedication to the series; Especially considering my incipience overall in matters of lore and how much more juice I'd get proverbially squeezing some other book.
I was wrong. It was, at the point of perusal, my favorite read of the bunch. Some things that I liked:
- Garro is very much sui generis. He has many particular flaws and virtues, and these are consistently exposed throughout the book. We also, get a feel for Garros' growth throughout the book, done well and adding all the more complexity to him.
- Fortunately, It wasn't a Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Warp work. It explores a surprisingly varied number of different settings and locations.
- It colors key events and interactions sublimely. You find a new appreciation for things and characters you already know.
- There is a lot of Holy Terra moments for sure.
- Some - up to this point - relatively secondary characters, blossom into straight-up protagonists.
- Some new factions and key characters get introduced. This book is when I started feeling like I was reading Warhammer 40k and not 30k.
