I first heard this audio drama on 11.11.11, I known this because it was midnight release of Skyrim and my partner won the dice roll, so I was laying on the bedroom floor with shitty wired headphones in the back of the computer having my mind blown and completely distracted from how much I wanted to go down stairs and okay. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to it in the following years, but it's a LOT. Every time I listen again I feel a fear that maybe I won't like it as much or will hear something problematic or just shitty, and with how much of a strong negative reaction I had to Thorpe's Honour to the Dead and Hinks' Illyrium, I was really feeling it...
But I am a fool!
Look, Raven's Flight is just over an hour and manages to do more with more depth and weight than many 600+ page novels. There is some of the best action I've read in the Horus Heresy, heartbreaking internal monologues on all manner of things from the Imperium, the nature of Astartes as monsters designed to create a galaxy for human, reflections on Deliverance, the Emperor, and his brothers, all written beautifully, there's that scratch of the myth and magic itch I have with the prtentioud dreams of blood and fire, fire and blood that are never explained, the war between Astartes, conflict between a human and an Astartes commander, and enough pathos to pave Pythos!
The writing is exquisite, one minute heartrending and poignant, another visceral and stimulating action that truly shows the ferocity and power of a cornered Primarch, or teeth-grindingly tense, or brief moments of exhalation and exaltation! This is Thorpe and the Heresy at the top of their game and set the bar for the Primarch-focused tales very high.
I just adore it! It does everything I could ask for from a Warhammer or sci-fi action story with aplomb. ( )
