fantastic book.

The last church, wolf at the door, and the world eater(i forget it's title) are just amazing. The other stories were good too, but those three were some of the best short stories from black library I heard.

Great listen, when the dialog can be heard

Some of the audio is very quiet during dialog, made it difficult to listen to without headphones, but the story and quality overall was great!

Great short stories, well, for the most part

There are some treasures in here. Particularly the last church. There is unfortunately a Dark Angels story to slog through, but as I said, great stories for the most part.

fun to get the short stories that fill in the gaps

the last church is easily one of my favorite pieces of lore from the entire 40K universe. it really showcases how much of a benevolent dick the emperor of mankind truly is. Also it would be very interesting to see an alternate history where angron never receives the nails.

Great Performances

The performances for The Voice and After De'shea were just fantastic. Enjoyed those especially.

Hit or Miss

Wolf At The Door and The Voice were fantastic and added so much depth to the universe for me. The others were hit or miss, some felt like dead ends and some felt like over simplification of scenes. There was continuity though, the good guys aren't that good. Which is classic WH40k.

A solid read

The last church was awesome story, and the book as a whole is real good too

The right amount of story telling

An amazing book, telling some awesome stories about some of the most importants characters of this Amazing universe I cant wait for the next book to start!!

Great collection of short stories

This series of novels and compilations of short stories are all excellent. Here are a collection of several short stories from the age of primarchs and like all others has been brought to life with such excellent voice acting that truly immersed you in the world created by the authors. A great listen and like many I agree that the short story compilations might be a good place to start to give you a flavor of the warhammer world if you do not wish to start at the beginning of the Horus heresy series this is a great place to start. For new and experienced readers of the series these short stories are great.

Great Story telling

I loved these short stories! It’s really cool to get these background stories on main characters.
