    This story really has my two favourite World Eater characters (Lotara and Khârn) shine. A must-read short story.

    I liked the portrayal of the "new" Angron in this story. Some parts did just feel like filler for the sake of filler though.

    Good epilogue and an interesting perspective, could have just been two pages longer to add some more depth and it would have been even better.

    Just an okay story really. Khârn does not really feel like the same Khârn as in other stories, he feels very watered down and basic. Apart from that the prose is not particularly outstanding either, nor is the plot that engaging, it more feels like a story that just serves to bridge one story with another.

    This book might be the best HH novel I've read (yet) when it comes to making utterly evil and despicable beings be relatable. It has made me feel like I truly understand certain choices made my the main characters, even if I cannot ever imagine myself making them. Very well done.

    Really powerful story, especially considering it's only a couple of pages. Don't want to say too much about it because you should just read it for yourself.

    Well-written and engaging. Really enjoyed the portrayal of the nails and of the unwavering loyalty to the astartes had in their Primarchs, even without knowing them.

    Just a very OK story. Does not particularly stand out in any way but it's not too long so you might as well read it if you're interested in the World Eaters.
