Kharn: Eater of Worlds by Anthony Reynolds

reza's review against another edition

3.0

This book is mostly held up by Reynolds writing skill and the side-characters. It starts out promosing and has Skoral, the human medicea who could have been one of the better mortal characters. However once the plot starts you learn quickly that this books is just a novelisation of what could better have stayed a page in a the codex lore part.
The book is brief and entertaining, but lacks depth compared to other more praised traitores novels.

On the twenty-fifth day of Christmas, Black Library gave to us…a World Eaters novel from Anthony Reynolds. Released on Christmas Day as the final part of the 2014 advent calendar, Khârn : Eater of Worlds is set post-Heresy, looking at the fractured and damaged remnants of the World Eaters legion in the aftermath of the Siege of Terra. Their primarch is gone, the chain of command ravaged, and rival factions are forming and threatening to rip the legion apart; the only one who might be able unify the legion is Khârn, but he lies unresponsive in a coma after being pulled from the battlefield on Terra.
