I actually really enjoyed the Outcast Dead, which seems to be one of the winners for most panned in here. I appreciated the flow of the story, and the characters themselves.

Battle for the Abyss was tepid, and Fulgrim was outright awful for me. I could not stand to read page upon page of the Emperor's Children fall into sensual debauchery. It was just overkill and it murdered the story. Truly, I despise Fulgrim the character now, and I root for him to be marginalized whenever he pops up now in later books.

Vengeful Spirit had some high marks, although the fate of the pre-Grey Knights wasn't part of that. The Unremembered Empire was fantastic for all the ground it covered, and how engaging it was. Legion was another that shed a lot of light on things. I really enjoyed Prospero Burns. It made the Vylka Fenryka into something special, far more than just the stupid Space Wolves.

I seem to gravitate to the Dan Abnett books, which isn't a surprise for me, I love his other 40k work.
