The reason for that is that I know how they inevitably end, in this case with the fall of Horus and the traitor legions into the depths of heresy. So, I suppose one could say that I dislike that the books depict an Imperium falling into strife and civil war, rather than an Imperium in the ascendant.
I can see where you're coming from with the HH novels, however, they may still be worth reading due to the fact that it gives insight into what the imperium was like 10,000 years before 40k. You can see how people, technology, attitudes, etc. change over the course of that many years.
