They also tended to be a bit all over the place in terms of narrative and time line and became an additional speed bump in my reading progression.

Although some were enjoyable, they weren’t long enough to really get invested in. It was also around this time that Black Library started releasing a number books made up of multiple short stories. After 30+ books you’re bound to hit some Heresy fatigue no matter how deeply immersed in the lore you are. Which makes sense as there is so many stories that can be told during one of the most interesting periods of the Imperium of Man’s history, with Horus’ civil war setting the galaxy aflame.Īlthough I am an avid Heresy fan, like many others I’ve waned in keeping up with the plot recently. Indeed there is talk that Black Library are now treating the “Heresy” as more of a setting than a series of books. The Horus Heresy Series currently spans a staggering 46 books, and still isn’t finished! Add to that a large number of satellite stories, novellas and the accompanying Primarch series of books, there is still a lot going on in the Heresy. This is why I love anything I can listen to while carrying out household chores or commuting back and forth to work, something that is fast becoming the highlight of my day! It’s never a bad thing to get some Grimdark in your ear holes! Getting into the Horus Heresy Book Series This coming from someone with a collection of over 150 Warhammer 40k novels at home and plenty books still on the “to read” shelf, of which I’m sure I’m not alone. The range of titles available has been vastly expanded on Amazon’s audiobook platform, most notably including a large selection of the Horus Heresy series.įor someone like me this is great news! As having a very busy personal life, I tend to find that I have less and less time to sit down with a good book these days and struggle to keep up on my reading. Following my previous post announcing that Black Library was now on Audible with a small initial offering of Warhammer 40,000 audiobooks.
