I don't mind the storyline or that it takes place before the Heresy I dislike it because the writing's sub-par, badly paced, and uninteresting characters. Others really like it because it lovingly sets up a believable and immersive world and slowly builds up from that. The main characters in Descent, Zahariel and Nemiel, are booooooooring, but they are portrayed differently in Fallen, where they are actually interesting.Įven in books, children are always bloody annoying and boring.Įh, I like it but I'm beginning to sound like a broken record repeating myselfĭescent is like the reviews say - a lot of people hate it because it doesn't follow the storyline set up in the first few books and takes place before the Heresy.

This page includes details of the stories Ive contributed, so might be useful if you want to follow the White Scars arc in order, or find certain titles. I can get on with doing the action- packed focus of it." The Horus Heresy is a huge series, including 54 novels and countless short stories and audios. Roberts agrees: "Dan is coming up with the plot, I'm drawing it, then he's putting the words to it - it frees me up to draw the cool stuff without worrying too much about the nitty-gritty. Stan Lee did it that way, and it's a great way of giving the artist a lot of storytelling control and also a great way to keep things moving."
