Summary
Of all the Legiones Astartes, the White Scars of Jaghatai Khan remain the most enigmatic and elusive. Born of a civilisation that prizes honour, speed and fearsome loyalty, their allegiance has yet remained unclear even as the galaxy is torn apart by Horus' treachery, and both sides have apparently counted them among their potential allies in the war to come.
But when the Alpha Legion launch an unexplained and simultaneous attack against the White Scars and Space Wolves, the Khan must decide once and for all whether he will stand with the Emperor or the Warmaster...or neither.

Among the Ordu
What makes some of the vastly different Horus Heresy books one of my favourites? Let's start with my list: Horus Trilogy, Thousand Sons, Prospero Burns, Fear to Tread, Betrayer, Unremembered Empire and now Scars.
All of these delve into tragedy. The shattering of brotherhod in Horus, the deep unnecesary tragedy of Prospero or the pain of broken Angron.
All of these take a peek behind the curtain of a vastly different culture and makes you inhabit their world.Especially walking witgh the wolves in Prospero burns made me experience a vastly different culture and understand them.
Then there is the cadence of tension and suspense, especially noticable when unfortunately absent like in Vulkan Lives.
Scars takes all these parts into one cohesive, understandable story that hasn't bored me for a moment. I loved the interesting thought patterns of the Khans, vastly different from other legions but still logical. The unleashing of the power of this misunderstood underdog legion is a powerfull experience. Ride with the Khans in their persuit to understand what has happened in the universe while they have been blind at the edge of it.

boring slow filler I would skip it
I would say this is the second worst in the series after Nemesis
I would just skip, I give a four line summary below at the bottom of this review ... no major spoliers
instead of seeing lightning fast jetbike combat and master swordsmen fighting their enemies we receive a slow boring filler of a book that adds almost nothing to the overall story line of the H H.
there are a lots of flash backs to conversations and exposition through a lot of the book
I skipped ahead from Angel Exterminatus because I thought this would be good AE bangs with action all the way through with a fast pace and interesting characters this does not
I expected the book to start with the scars fighting the orks so we could see how the Scars fight which would have been great, but instead it's just slow, followed by a lackluster ending
for what should have been one of the more interesting legions we see almost nothing of them as a whole or their fighting style as there is so little action in the book
none of the characters seem to have any personality at all
in the way that the book nemesis literally doesn't even need to exist this the most nothing of all the books the events of this book aren't important
I will summarise the book bellow to save you 12 hours of your life
minor spoliers below
the white scars hear different reports of who are the traitors, Jagatai doesn't know who to believe, they have a brief space battle with the Alpha legion, they go to Prospero to find out the truth, stuff happens they side with the Emperor (which we already know they do)
done
I do like like Jonathan Keeble as a narrator but I do think giving the Scars an accent was a mistake all the non Terran characters sound the same

Get this audiobook
As someone who’s heard clips of this novel from Wolf Lord Rho’s channel on YouTube - getting the full audiobook has been nothing short of amazing. Been enjoying going for multiple walks during lockdown just to listen to this book! My only gripe is I’m not a fan of the voice acting for Sanguinius in this - but it’s only a short appearance. And imo some of the Space Wolves sound more Asian/White Scar, than Norse/Space Wolves. But not a big deal.

Excellent story and narration
Ive read and listen to 40-50 different horus heresy books and short stories, and this is one of my favourites. First time reading about the white scar, but this Narrotor does and excellent job. I want to listen to more books with this great narrator. Maybe my favourite HH books this far

Great Story, Amazing Narration
Voice work on this one is incredible, not heard him before on these black library books but gets everything bang on, really dramatic! Not sure if this guy is new to this series or has other books? but would love to hear more for him.
Story is really good and keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Didn’t want to put it down
Loved this book, I’ve been waiting for the White Scars to play their hand and this did not disappoint.

The Horus Heresy at its best
One of the best HH stories in my opinion, bringing to life the confusion and conflicting loyalties of a rebellion and those caught up in it.

Still better than some
The accent work of the narrator here is extremely questionable and has not aged well at all, however the story still remains better than several others in the series

Best so far
I wasn't too sure about this one as I don't know much about the scars but it was easily the one I've enjoyed the most in the series so far. Story and performance are fantastic, definitely worth a listen.

Terrific
I never thought I would enjoy a book about the white scars (led by Genghis khan in space) but this book surprised me in more ways than one. Great story and narration. At times I was gripped by the drama and unique insights of the scars into the heresy and at others howling with laughter.
If you have a need for speed, an anarchistic bent, a sage mysticism, a love of grand strategy, and have ever wanted to ask fulgrim if he has sex with his legionaries, then you too may be ready to join the horde of the great khan and become one with the urdu

One of the Best
As a Thosand Sons player this book shows the sode of Magnus I wish I could explain to my peers. Magnus's story is a tragic tale of doing good the wrong way. Being outcast by his father. Great book, now Im a fan of the white scars too.

strong entry by Wraight
only docking one star for story as the Space Wolves, prominent at the beginning, disappear halfway through and felt a bit shoehorned into the book for no real reason. Otherwise this is a great HH novel and excellent depiction of the Khan and his legion.

Speeeeeeeeedyyyybooooy
Jaghatai getting fleshed outs always a win, plus having a pretty happy ending game for a warhammer novel is a little refreshing.

Amazing story for the 5th Legion
This story has plenty of great moments and background for the White Scars. Jaghatai Khan is amazing and a straight up beast while also being civil in his own way which makes him just flat out amazing.

I wanted to like it
Amazing performance as always, but it was just another “what’s the primarch of the white scars doing during the beginning of the heresy” book. There could’ve been 4 beers all with quick, short stories about the background instead of 25 titles around it.

The Khan
Didn’t think I would enjoy this as much as I did. Never been interested in this Legion, only until after looking at reviews and all the Khan hype on YouTube did I decide to pick this up. I was not disappointed.

Worth it!
Skillful writing, fantastic narration. The author does a great job conveying just how tense and confusing it was at this point in the Heresy. The White Scars Legion has heard whispers of treachery and the time has come to decide who’s side they’re on.
Tensions run high as they uncover frightening truths about the state of the Great Crusade.
This book is a winner, I would recommend this to any Heresy fan.

Excellent writing and narration
Shogo Myiakita did an excellent job narrating this. I dearly wish they had continued to use him for the other white scars books.

not read by Jonathan Keeble anymore
I don't know why they decided to change the narrator. but it was a big surprise/Let down to me when I decided to come back and listen to this book. It just didn't feel right anymore. the chnage of a new narrator has made lost interest in this book.
