Michael reviewed Flight of the Eisenstein by James Swallow
Quite an enjoyable switch of PoV
3 stars
I'm coming to really enjoy the Horus Heresy, and in particular this installment. It's nice to see the PoV from a different legion, with different characters taking central stage, but still progressing the the same story.
I also enjoyed that we got a peek into Naval warfare in the Warhammer 40k universe. I hope that there's going to be at least a few proper space battles in the future - and ones between actual ships, and not just "okay, and here is the typical Astartes battle, but now aboard a starship during a boarding action".
