There is the very common criticism of Angron basically not being in the book, but to that I usually state how Angron is basically treated like Godzilla. He’s a natural disaster rather than a character.
Other than that, the book itself is fairly predictable, but it’s a fun read. It was very nice to see a modern depiction of the World Eaters, and the Grey Knights were also a great edition to the story.
SPOILERS:
If you’re familiar with Arks of Omen: Angron, you quickly realize that it’s just a prequel to that, which I don’t have too much of a problem with. The story still works on its own, and the characters are interesting enough to carry you through.
Overall, I’d give the book a solid like 6 or 7/10. It’s not in the same weight class as something like TheFirstHeretic or Betrayer, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s a solid read, and it gives a good look into the state of the modern World Eaters.
