m_r_parker Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Well, it's a big book. To be honest I've only read the first chapter so far, so couldn't possibly comment on it.

A D-B Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Shouldnt we have some by now? I've seen a few! There are three on the Goodreads page already. One is marked with spoilers, but doesn't actually have any.

Sete Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 God Emperor dammit. I'm currently at Portugal and can't buy the book. Only tomorrow when I get home. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328184-master-of-mankind-review-or-spoilers/#findComment-4572750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grailkeeper Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I could only find the one Master of mankind review on good reads. As someone who has read the book there are no spoilers, bar that Arkhan Land is in it. Also found my book is on goodreads. No reviews- guess law isn't as popular as 40k.

Marshal Rohr Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Just got it. First spoiler - Magnus saw the world through EYES of fire. EYES. Clearly ADB doesn't know Magnus is a cyclops. Just another example of wanton retconning.

dienekes96 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I have at least procured it. Along with Praetorian of Dorn. Now I just need to claw through Path of Heaven and Praetorian before I get the dessert. Fair deal.

caladancid Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 As big an assface as I thought the Emperor was.....turns out he is douchey to the uberest of all possibility. It is almost enough to make one starting shouting "Death to the False Emperor!" Also, amazing novel.

hopkins Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 The insights into the Emperor and his vision for humanity are incredible ADB is the king of writing, the balance in this book is just right.

b1soul Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Looked at the Reddit thread...could Redditors be more obnoxious? Really like the tidbits though.

Sete Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Holy hanging monkeys with poison tails what a book. Not finished just landed at Gatwick and I'm fighting trough the masses to my flight. But that 3 hour flight was too damn short. My annoyance at the flight attendant for interrupting my read was palpable.

A D-B Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Man, I hope some of the spoilers regarding the big E's relationship with the Primarchs aren't true. Me too. Or, rather, I hope they're countered in later (or even previous) scenes, giving possibility that people perceive the Emperor in some way along their wavelength. Like characters such as Land seeing him as detached and emotionless in manner and speech, Ra seeing him as distant but dutiful, and Diocletian seeing flashes of more emotion once everything has all come crashing down, and so on. I suspect it'll be more like that, with the idea that you can never be 100% sure you're hearing what a mind that impossible is actually conveying; just the gist of it. Like it's however your psyche interprets the situation you're in with the man. Call it a hunch...

It's only at that point in time; you should be fine. That was one of the things I asked John about, and he said almost all of the Fists are engaged off-Terra in the spheres of the Solar War, but I got the impression it was a fluid situation.
