I was a little weary about this book, it seemed to come out of nowhere in the story building happening in the previous HH novels, but this book did a lot to give a 3rd view of the HH and what it means to the larger universe.

The White Scars, as the book begins haven't chosen a side, and aren't too concerned with being involved at all, they only feel as though they have a limited attachment to the Imperium.

We get the very first glimpse of the Primarch of the White Scars, Jaghatai Khan, who could best be described as an amalgam of the great Khans of Mongolia and medieval Samurai. (It's a theme with the Primarchs, they each seem to represent a different Earth region). This time we get to spend with the Khan, we get to see how the HH evolved and how his absence was not serendipitous.

All in all, this was a great read, something I'll probably re-read to make sure I didn't miss any nuanced plot twists and look forward to having the Khan in a book again.
