Thumbs up Lord of the Night

Like all my book reviews, I'll keep this short. It was a good read, and a must read if your a Night Lord fan. I enjoyed the way it was put together; jumping from one persons point of view to another, going back and forth. And the ending was damn good, didn't see it coming at all. Whelp thats it, next BL book I'm reading is Dark Apostle.

It is a really good book when you are in between Horus Heresy books and you want to hear a Primarch talk.

Liked the way the writing altered my perception of chaos marines. By the end of the book I really was rooting for the 'bad guy'.

Ok so Sahaal was a "bad" guy but at least he had some honor left in him. And i loved how they portrayed what he thought the night lords should have been and what they actually were towards the end. Im waiting for a power struggle-like epic saga of Sahaal and his adventures to rise and become Lord of the Night.....Maybe one day anyway!

PS it was a great book and if i had to pick a chaos space marine army (btw this admission is heresy) it would be night lords, cause konrad curze + sahaal = 2 badass for mortal speech

If they made a saga of Zso'Sahaal I would be very very pleased.

Very nice book for such short length, and I agree that it is one of those books where you side with the "bad guy". I had hoped that they would continue the series, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Curze is a badass. Thats what made me go Chaos and why I have some Night Lords.

That book single handedly shook the foundation of my faith and loyalty to the imperium and if you knew me in real life, thats no easy feet!
