They didn’t expect the success of the first few that made the times best seller list, thats like massively more than they expected to sell, so they increased the planned number and the quality dropped massively as they expanded to the authors to suit.
If you read just the best books you’d still get the same favour but cut it to about 20 books or so, including the best ones in the Siege of Terra that are the actual ending.
I’ve read only first 14 books and the first one - “Horus Rising” is the best. “The First Heretic” is also pretty good, it’s doing a great job explaining Lorgar’s motivation.

Any suggestions to the better ones? I’ve been wanting to branch out into the books.
I think this list is pretty close to the best books, you can jump off with series based on your favourite characters like Garro if they click for you: https://booksreadlisten.com/best-horus-heresy-books/
Couple those with the Siege of Terra but skip may be the first wall (as I detest Thorpes writing) and Mortis as its a bit boring.
People might say that way spoilers lye, however the ending was main lore even before the series started.
Neat, thank you
Read Einsenhorn. Not a part of Horus Heresy, but it’s WH40K and it’s awesome.
Thanks!

Cool. Thank you!
I started but quit because there’s too much. Do you know where I can find a condensed list? I can handle 10-20 books, I can’t handle 60
Try this one for the best books, you won’t have all the plot lines but the main plot was decided decades before the series even started
