Everything was, is, and will be connected, like a serpent devouring its own tail.

As a massive fan of the Thousand Sons, I thought this book was fantastic. I loved how all the pieces of a grand puzzle fell into place as I read, and French’s depiction of Tzeentch and it’s Court of Change was exactly how I imagined it: unimaginable.

Changeling mentioned? Peak.

Iskander Khayon mentioned? Peak.

Magnus? Did nothing wrong. Peak

Ignis and Ctesias are my favourite characters. RIP MY BOY CREDENCE

The third and final novel in John French’s ambitious trilogy, Ahriman : Unchanged sees the Thousand Son sorcerer firmly back at the peak of his powers. Using knowledge gleaned from the Athenaeum (see Ahriman : Sorcerer) he prepares to enact a new Rubric, a grand undertaking that will correct the mistakes of his past. To do so he has to lead his forces back to Prospero and the scene of his legion’s darkest hour, and from there to face their father Magnus deep within the Eye of Terror. Standing in his way are foes both seen and unseen, from within the Imperium and without.
