Due to there being a different author, it can be a bit jarring moving directly to this second book, but it builds on the characters of the previous and pieces in the great game that is the Horus heresy begin moving.
Not as good as book 1, I felt a lot of the character development was dropped from book 1, takes a while to get going, some pretty engaging stuff around the middle/tale end so stick with it.
For such an epic demigod, Horus sure is easy to manipulate. Even Anakin Skywalker held out for several years before finally falling to the Dark Side, and he was a whiny teenager for most of it. Horus just caved right in.

Graham McNeill has no issue picking up where Abnett left off with a sequel that works beautifully in tandem with the first book. The overall writing isn't as tight or engaging as Abnett's but that's a Warhammer trend one must swallow in the name of The Emperor and The Lore. The roles of the major players in the Horus Heresy and everything surrounding It and Him are clearly defined, tying up the loose ends of the first book and making it very, very clear that what we are about to bear witness to in the coming books is pure tragedy.
