Flight of the Eisenstein is pretty good too. But... none of the HH books have ever really grabbed me. 40k has some truly good pieces of science fiction (The Infinite and The Divine (probably the best warhammer book, I don't even think that's a contentious claim), Ruin/Reign, Flesh & Steel, Assassinorum: Kingmaker), but I was always kinda underwhelmed by the 30k stuff... idk what it was. Maybe the inevitability of the setting?

    I only started reading Horus Heresy because the first novel is by Abnett. Took me until like the 15th to realise the rest of them suck.

    Yeah, I really respect what a literary undertaking it was but... jesus christ, when the recommended reading order has to come in the form of charts like this maybe you should prune down the number of entries in the series guys.
