thurminator 's review for:
False Gods
by Graham McNeill
6.5/10.
Not as fresh and enjoyable as Horus Rising, but an interesting enough continuation of the story of Horus and his legion. The penultimate events of the heresy are clearly being set up now and will presumably take full effect in the 3rd book. I wasn't as engaged this time around, and find Horus himself to be becoming rather unlikable, quite a contrast from the way he was depicted in Horus Rising. He has essentially been manipulated into his future course of action rather than coming to his decision in a clear-headed and honorable way, which I think would have been a lot better. The ending of the book, which quickly disposes of two interesting characters, also didn't sit well with me. The scope of the overarching story here and the development of Loken and Torgaddon as characters kept me engaged, however, and I am interested to see where everything ends up in the next book.
