Allart01 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I'm loving what I've read so far. Looks like many Dark Angels plotlines, even appartently forgotten ones, may be coming to some sort of fruition. I'm feeling very positive overall and can't wait to get my copy of the novel tomorrow!

Ubiquitous1984 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 It’s going to be impossible to avoid spoilers for this. Ive unsubbed all 40K subreddits and YouTube channels until further notice until I can read the novel and AOO. If anyone comes across a pdf or either book and can do me a solid to see me through until my physical copies can arrive, it would be greatly appreciated !

b1soul Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 From the video, it seems the entire Brooks novel will likely be set before Arks of Omen: The Lion The Lion is already with the BA at the start of AoO The Lion, so Brooks has a lot of narrative to set up.

Not really great on GW part, my local store which is a flagship store for the country only allocated 9 copies for orders on the hardcover, you would have thought GW wanted to get as many orders as possible or pre-planned that given a novel like this is going to attract interest, they would have printed more than normal Edited April 15, 2023 by Dzirhan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenzaburo Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 So when will the ebook version publically available? Also next Saturday?

b1soul Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Just another video about the conclusion of AoO, from which you can infer that Son of the Forest will basically be a prequel to the Lion's episode of AoO Ubiquitous1984 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) No need to infer. It is the prequel to his Arks of Omen appearance. Minor end point/timeline spoiler (the model releases/marketing lately included this already), if the above statement isn't convincing enough for you: Spoiler The novel ends with the Lion meeting Luis Dante; Arks of Omen has them already traveling together as the starting point.

Vassakov Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 It's really, really good. Spoiler Won't answer a lot of questions about exactly how The Lion returned, but the character work between him and his wayward sons is very, very fun - and provides some (relatively) definite answers about what happened on Caliban. Also, The Lion is pretty uncomplicatedly heroic in this book which is likely to annoy some people - it's implied but not explicitly stated that the intervening millennia have changed him in ways even he doesn't fully understand (in terms of his personality, he's not now a wizard or anything.) Gulliman isn't in this, and The Lion doesn't meet with the modern day Dark Angels so that plot thread is presumably to picked up in 10th, but it would be fair to say he's not best pleased with the state of things.

Krelious Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I tried placing an order for a CE on the nose, the website crashed after it was in my cart, then afterwards literally everything was sold out, even the regular hardback... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reunion and all is in Arks of Omen, and comes with a big bang. We'll enter 10th with its repercussions already having happened. Going by the summaries for AoO: The Lion, it's pretty much a must-read unless we get another novel covering it (which I pray we do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with Sanguinius it was confirmed the fight basically left him wounded in a way that he likely wouldn’t recover from, and it was only after he went into a pure rage so beautiful even Angron was jealous.
