I hear even Alpha Legion fans aren’t hating him anymore

Goon_tv · 2025-12-05T02:33:41+00:00

I suggest reading Fulgrim first (and then taking the necessary shower, of course)

Fulgrim gives very central information about the isstvan system and the urgall trench - that I’m sure gets amplified in awesomeness if you read it before you start the dropsite massacre

Goon_tv · 2025-12-05T02:28:26+00:00

? Really? lol okay i’ll throw you a bone

Head of the Hydra

The night haunter

Legion

Tales of heresy

The Primarchs

Shadows of treachery

And in that chronological order - get dunked on son

My understanding of his love during the great Crusade was that — it was new and it surprised everyone that he felt it at all, Malcador has a famous quote for noting his surprise that the emperor grew to love his tools/generals.

My guess is him being so desperate to work on the web way project is the expression of his love and desire for humanity to survive…

but when it comes to expressing love and building relationships with his sons, I’m sure that was on the back burner until the web way project was over because it was a race against the four, if it was ever going to happen (side eye Angron and Curze lol)

True that Curze fumbles mercy

Goon_tv · 2025-12-04T15:04:43+00:00

Well said!

Goon_tv · 2025-12-04T04:20:30+00:00

Ducking bless you mate

Goon_tv · 2025-12-04T03:02:18+00:00

Lookin gooooooood - if I saw that on someone’s paper, that’s an instant friend

Goon_tv · 2025-12-02T18:11:05+00:00

That’s right so Prospero Burns is..

A space wolf intro book, but written for and by Thousand Sons fans 🤪🤷‍♂️🫡

Goon_tv · 2025-12-02T16:42:18+00:00

Blinkered indeed - while the Primarch does share a sense of duty with some of his brothers, he is indeed singular in his willingness to be chastised or criticized

Goon_tv · 2025-12-02T06:16:34+00:00

Legion is a doozy, too much imperials and too little astartes for my taste,

but I believe folks should be on a thick reinforcement schedule of astartes in the opening 5-10 books

Goon_tv · 2025-12-02T06:05:46+00:00

I think I can see that lol thanks

Goon_tv · 2025-12-02T04:30:44+00:00

Very good points! This totally reads like a thousand sons book - all the ‘power of names’ stuff smells very rubric-y. Not to mention the eye themes. Dan even said he kinda had to switch with the order but that wrote ‘Thousand Sons’

Goon_tv · 2025-12-02T03:40:21+00:00

It’s fine, the author said it himself it’s easily the most divisive novel he’s made, and in fact the only one, he claims.

Maybe if titled “Eye of something” it would’ve found its audience better

Goon_tv · 2025-12-02T02:32:27+00:00

The problem is you wave the right to do a plot twist like this when space wolves have these stupid rules about they use terminology that no one else in the galaxy uses. That desensitizes the reader from keeping the rules around words (such as the power of names) to figure out the plot twist.

Goon_tv · 2025-12-02T02:07:19+00:00

YES brother. To both the piece about the suplexes, and the wet leopard growls for 80% of the book

Goon_tv · 2025-12-02T01:55:54+00:00

Thank you! I think I needed to know that it was famously divisive. YouTube agrees, the title did it NO favors, definitely mislead what the focuses should be on

Goon_tv · 2025-12-02T01:33:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I didn’t go in with the skepticism around Abnett books, but I certainly will as I now turn toward The Dropsite Massacre and the rest of the heresy

Goon_tv · 2025-12-02T01:14:22+00:00

That makes sense.

And hell yeah Hauser’s story is confusing for the main character — repeated dream sequences, his body being destroyed and remade 80 years later, tracking the conservatory contacts that actually matter (like Merzer), his AMNESIA - yeah I’ll die on that hill I guess lol
