It took me a very long while to read this tale. In part, I think this was so because I plain 'burned up' after having read a good many books in a comparatively short time. But the book itself was also at fault. While the tale it tells remains interesting, I found myself really missing the prose of the first installment.
Anyway:
Prose: [At times awkward, at times repetitive. At times just plain terrible. No one should ever use 'guiltily' to describe an action] 2/5 stars
Pacing: 3/5 stars
Plot: [While I think the plot is explored in a better way in this second installment, there are still too many flaws present, like the awful way this installment ends] 2/5 stars
Characterization:3/5 stars
World-Building: 4/5 stars
Overall Rating:3/5 stars

Wonderfully gloomy, occasionally (unintentionally?) camp, utterly absorbing grimdark space nonsense that tickles all the right buttons for me on lazy days spent on couches and in hammocks. It's also quite deftly written and vivid. Glorious stuff when you're in the mood for it.

When I started on these, I did not expect Horus’ corruption to be so well written nor did I expect the battles to be written as anything other than glorious. A pleasant surprise, hope the third is good.
