Petitioner's City Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It's good so far, nothing bad or unacceptable has happened. Curze is unaccounted for, but it follows on from both Vulkan Lives and Unremembered Empire, as well as things like 'Censure'. It's no Tallarn: Executioner or Prospero Burns or A Thousand Sons, but it is good.

amaze07 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Finished it last night! definitely one of the better HH books to have come out recently, feels like we are finally getting somewhere in the overall time frame! and the end I thought was awesome!! and looks like Vulkan was on Terra after all :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310269-new-hh-salamanders-novel/#findComment-4107031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petitioner's City Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The novel has a lot of FW ideas at play: volkites of multiple classes, destroyers and more all get more than a nod here, not as product placement, but as evidence of a built-up world. Also cool to see is the corruption taking hold of the Death Guard and the Word Bearers - building on Unremembered Empire with the latter - and Kyme's attempts to distinguish the very distinctive characters of the Legions. It's a pretty cool moment when, given a random set of scout armour by Thiel's squad, Numeon goes to town making it beautifully crafted as his way to recreate. Also mysterious Sigilite Knight. And Blackshielding And also nice touches like red hair and stylistic differences in the fashion Nocturnians...is this how Kyme writes them in 40k too?

hopkins Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 i reviewed it here, it's light on spoilers though http://www.corehammer.com/horus-heresy-book-review-deathfire-by-nick-kyme/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310269-new-hh-salamanders-novel/#findComment-4108460 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not click on the spoiler link below if you dont wanna know what happens at the end :) Basically, They get Vulkan back to Nocturne and throw him into mount death fire and nothing happens until numeon goes off and sacrifices himself and that brings vulkan back, but prior to the sallies going out to look for numeon, they had been preparing to go to Terra to re-inforce it, but then they find vulkan alive on the ground and well with his mind intact, and from there it looks like they will travel to terra with Vulkan intact etc...etc... really liked the end of it!

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Im still reading the story, but was more interested in the ending than the journey. Reading Kyme is an arduous task for me at times. Thank you for the spoiler.

amaze07 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yeah for one of Kyme's it was pretty good I thought! the middle yes kinda dragged a small bit, but over all I was really happy with it! and the end I was like ooooooooooooooh hell no!!! probably one of my favourite endings!

HaSY Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Numeon's exchanges with each primarch is fun to read, esp Lion.

Kilofix Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Loaded question - should I get this if I couldn't bear to finish Vulkan Lives? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310269-new-hh-salamanders-novel/#findComment-4119281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Loaded question - should I get this if I couldn't bear to finish Vulkan Lives? I would say not to. Vulkan Lives is the first of a three part "trilogy" Kyme has planned for the HH Salamanders. Deathfire is the second part. If the first was a struggle (completely understandable), then I would advise against the second.

1000 Sons Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I love that the Salamanders turned out to be nothing but a splinter legion led by Magnus and the Thousand Sons. Numeon was a corpse that Magnus took control over and heroically led to save his brother. It was really nice when I realized I wasn't reading a Salamanders book, but a Magnus led adventure.

Conn Eremon Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I gotta admit, I'm struggling through this. I just got to the part where Numeon & Co. have an audience with the Primarchs on Macragge and good lord, it's enough for me to join Hyaenidae's camp and forget the Primarchs. Last time I've seen them portrayed so stupidly was, well, Vulkan Lives. Between Kyme, Thorpe, Swallow, French, McNeil, and Wraight, I'm really starting to feel like there is some Primarch Curse that prevents anyone from writing them as anything but frothing dumb :cuss es. Some of those authors write stuff about Legionaries that I find fascinating, good reads. But hand them a Primarch and it all falls apart. I know it smacks of fanboyism, but the last book to have what I felt was a decent Primarch depiction that wasn't written by Abnett or A D-B was A Thousand Sons, written five years and over twenty books/anthologies ago.

Out of curiosity, why is Wraight on that list of cursed Primarchs?
