Cyrox Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Morning folks, I've just finished reading A Thousand sons, and I need to know whether i should go straight for Prospero Burns, or give in and read The First Heretic. I really like ADB's work, so that novel is staring me from the shelf, wanting to be read, but i thought i'd ask the advice of those who have read them both So seeing as I just finished 1k sons, which do i read first: Prospero Burns or The First Heretic Cheers :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218571-which-first-first-heretic-or-prospero-burns/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codicier Lucion Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 First Heretic. Trust me, it's something you should probably read before moving on to Prospero Burns.

Captain Juan Juarez Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Read the series in order, to do otherwise would have you labelled a heretic and a traitor.

Midgard Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 The First Heretic. A change in pace and style will make you appreciate Prospero Burns more than if you read it straight after A Thousand Sons, considering major differences in style between A Thousand Sons and Prospero Burns. In fact, I would liken Prospero Burns to Legion in style and form more than to A Thousand Sons. And The First Heretic is a great book in its own right, one of the best in the series so far.

Pacific81 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 i agree, The First Heretic has been one of my favorite books of the series so far. And reading Prospero Burns straight after A Thousand Sons might be too much (kind of like watching 2 Lord of the Rings movies back to back, although I appreciate some people enjoy doing that sort of thing! :cuss ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218571-which-first-first-heretic-or-prospero-burns/#findComment-2606458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
