Summary
Imperium Secundus lies revealed as a heretical folly. Terra has not fallen, though it remains inaccessible. Sanguinius, Guilliman and the Lion El’Johnson, the primarchs of the Triumvirate, must reach Terra at all costs. They seek to defend the Emperor and to atone for their sins.
But the Ruinstorm, a galaxy-wide maelstrom of chaos, hides the Throneworld from the primarchs. Now the fleets of three Legions depart Macragge, and the primarchs will stop at nothing to overcome the Ruinstorm. Yet an insidious enemy watches their every move, and plots against the weaknesses of the errant sons of the Emperor. Each has his own inner storm, and each marches towards his own ruin.

Sentence after sentence of hyperbole.
Whilst the overall story of the book was good and tied some loose ends up, the execution was very poor. Every line was over the top, so when it got to some climaxes I was underwhelmed. the author forgets that less is more, and that the characters make the books compelling. the narrator was fantastic yet again. Final plot view without spoilers: the end with Kurze didn't make sense from a military standpoint even with the emphasis on fate.

Damnation of Pythos 2: Electric Boogaloo.
I honestly don't know who approved this but they want to to be shot. I honestly can say this is the most boring book in the entire series. It's so slow. I get that weapons have names but He sounds like a kid trying to pad a word count by the amount of times he puts "the blade encarmine" etc It's unnecessary.

Honestly found it quite boring and not gripping.
Struggled with this book. I love the Horus Heresy Series but this one is my least favourite, feeling like its just pushing action down your throat for no reason other than action. I think it's the pacing I have issue with.

Awful Story
This is a typical Annandale story, the characters HAVE no character and the story is incredibly boring, I have this as a book and was so fed up reading it I got the audio book and it STILL bores me to tears 😂

Good story Perfect narration. Plot relevant for the vast majority of the story. Keeble is Perfect as always

An overblown mess
This novel should have been a novella at best. The author seemed to have an ending but had no solid story to get there. The language is a hyperbolic mess and it is full of set pieces that are so ridiculous in their scale that they lose any meaning as they vie to trump each other again and again.
I’m glad I can return the book and get my credit back because this novel is a chore that adds nothing of real worth to the series.
The voice actor does his best but I’d never listen to this bloated mess ever again.

Much more like it!
After the droll pointlessness of Tallarn, this book (Rainstorm) finally felt like we were being thrust back into the narrative of war and the path back to Terra!
we'll written and brilliantly narrated.

Not mind blowing but entertaining
There isn't a ton of stuff happening to move the plot forward but at least this author can write and is able to convey some personality in the characters. There are some important events covered that fill in gaps and there is a genuine chemistry between the three Primachs. There are a lot of authors in the BL that have decent plot to their books but all the characters are toe-curling one dimensional, wooden and their personality morphs to whatever the plot requires.

One of the few I would listen to again.
Excellent story, bringing major characters together in one of the many pivotal moments of the HH. Disheartening to hear the fate of Curz, but the execution was full of emotion and redress. A solid part of the series.

Space Adventure, slash, pew, slash!
Very good, didn’t expect to love it so much. When the trio of Primarchs make it to the giant space castle, oh my. Also, I’m glad that I listened to Damnation at Pythos, I always wondered what was gonna happen with that.

Wait for it...
Pros:
- Snaguinius’ storyline
- Annendale’s absolutely stunning descriptions
- The last hour
Cons:
- The plot leading up to the last hour has the subtlety of a brick
- The Lion and the Avenging Son are both very much out of character
I want to like this book, and I like the end very much. However, the path to that end is full of poorly plotted mishmash where primarchs make nonsensical decisions and chaos is just lazy. I love Annendale’s work, this is not even close to his best.

One of the worst book in HH series.
Was buying all HH books... Up to this point DA ones and Batttle for the Abyss were the worst books in this series, but I think this one can compete with them. If you do not read/listen to this book you are not going to miss anything. The story was as primitive as it can be... Very poor depiction of primarchs.

solid novel
this was most definitely one of the better written and voice read heresy novels. it did a fantastic job of explaining why the lion and the ultra Marines are not present at the siege. Jonathan keeble kills it with his narrating as well. the pacing is good throughout and there is plenty of action to keep you engaged. definitely give it a go

AMAZING!!!
A Greatly needed continuation of the journey of the lion, sanguinius, and guilliman. Ties alot of the lore of davin and the daemon fleet that is heralded by the ruinstorm.

Imperium in the knife’s edge
So many places for the imperium to fall. This book brings hope and sadness. Way better than my initial thoughts when looking at the idea for the book.

The path to Tera is clear, and the echos of the black rage have been heard.

Greta Narration, but a Slog to Get Though
Johnathan Keeble is in fine form for this book, maintaining his status as one of the best narrators employed by Black Library. He’s a joy to listen to, as always.
Unfortunately, this is a terribly written book. It’s at various times boring, silly, and ultimately, pointless. Anyone remotely familiar with the series knows how it ends, so did we really need this book with its drawn out scene of Guilliman yelling at a knife? The antagonists are so exaggerated to the point of comedy, and worse, they’re bland and unoriginal. Overall, Ruinstorm adds nothing to the overarching story of the Heresy or develop its characters in any meaningful way whatsoever.
