Ce deuxième volume de la saga “Horus Heresy” est peut-être un peu moins bon que le premier, mais seulement à la marge. Cela reste un récit épique passionnant, avec des personnages charismatiques et intéressants à suivre. Le premier volume est une longue et captivante introduction du contexte et des personnages, celui-ci lance réellement le récit avec les débuts de cette fameuse Hérésie d'Horus qui constitue l'un des événements majeurs de l'univers imaginaire de Warhammer 40k. J'ai hâte de lire la suite avec le troisième volume que je vais commencer dès maintenant !
False Gods picks up a few months from where Horus Rising left off. While Horus Rising did a good job of laying down information about the main characters and their personalities, I found it to be a little too slow paced for my liking at times. False Gods picks up the tempo and does an excellent job of making Horus' gradual slide into treason seem believable and understandable.
5 stars
Biased review - I love Warhammer in all aspects, so this second installation of the Horus Heresy is stellar in all respects in my opinion. Just one of the many building blocks for the vast lore of the Warhammer universe.
I suggest you read these first few books to get acquainted with happenings in the comparatively cheerful 31st millennium of the Imperium, which led to the creation of the gothic and oppressive conditions of life for the inhabitants of the universe in the future, 10000 years later.
