Magnus the Red: Master of Prospero by Graham McNeill
5.0
I read this as the Horus Heresy Omnibus Project reading guide Omnibus III: The Burning of Prospero
(https://www.heresyomnibus.com/omnibus/iii-the-burning-of-prospero) additional material as part of my Oath of Moment to complete the series.

Presenting the newest recipient for The Unburdened Award for absolutely not having to be, but coming out of nowhere to be a practically perfect Horus Heresy book: Magnus The Red: Master of Prospero by Graham McNeill!
I will do a proper write up, but I'm all reviewed out after hyperfixating on mythology when I finished my Thousand Sons review earlier, but I absolutely adored this! Of the three Primarchs novels I've read, Lorgar's, Guilliman's, this blows them both out the water and absolutely hits everything on my what I want and need from a Horus Heresy book: deepens our understanding of the characters involved, adds context to the Horus Heresy and/not Warhammer 40K, fleshed out characters I can engage with, relationships and events with emotional weight and drama/ tragedy, great action (preferably not the main focus), etc., etc.
Perturabo made me cry with his fraternal concern and love! Truly magnificent!
Now odd to carry on the story with Morningstar and then to the Great Wolf and Prospero Burns!
