À propos de cette écoute
Book one in the Ahriman series.
Cast out of his Legion, the sorcerer Ahriman, who condemned the Thousand Sons to an eternity of damnation, plots his return to power and the destruction of his foes.
Listen to it because: experience the beginning of an epic, time-twisting saga of revenge, betrayal and attempted atonement. John French takes the Ahriman you know and love from the Horus Heresy in new and interesting directions, making him both deeply sympathetic and thoroughly evil.
The story: all is dust.... Spurned by his former brothers and his father, Magnus the Red, Ahriman is a wanderer, a sorcerer of Tzeentch whose actions condemned an entire Legion to an eternity of damnation. Once a vaunted servant of the Thousand Sons, he is now an outcast, a renegade who resides in the Eye of Terror. Ever scheming, he plots his return to power and the destruction of his enemies, an architect of fate and master of the warp.
Written by John French. Narrated by Mark Elstob.

Decent
I was really hyped when starting this book as I find Ahriman to be really interesting.. I was pretty disappointed.
The book isn't bad, but it's blandly mediocre. Honestly you might enjoy this story more if you *hate* Ahriman rather than like him as he spends 95% of the novel being bullied and destroyed to no end. He does have some moments where he snaps out and becomes really op and fun to follow, one at the beginning and one at the end, but the rest of the time he's getting beaten to the brink of death more than a shonen protagonist.
In itself this type of story is completely fine and it goes well with his overall character, the problem is that it really isn't depicted in that way, he's supposed to be this super powerful dude that follows a very strange path when he's shown being a bumbling idiot doing mistake after mistake and stumbling in the dark. The way he's described and the way he acts are very different.
The narration is also very strange, the voices range from the ridiculous that makes you want to punch the character to the outright incomprehensible. The narrator keeps the same tone of voice throughout the book, and out of all the characters the navigator Silvanus is the least aggravating. Ahriman also often "shouts" things while the narrator is whispering which makes it very hard to follow the (supposed) intensity of the action.
There are still good points, the setting is amazing, taking us to a post-heresy galaxy where renegade factions try to survive and thrive from the point of view of Thousand Sons. You can feel the Tzeentch-ian atmosphere even when it doesn't appear anywhere and that's really cool.
Overall I'd rate it a 68/100, I have high hopes that the following books will recuperate from this first one.
++Beginning Spoilers++
Amon, the grand villain that's hyped up throughout the novel, appears only at the end, has the dumbest ambitions possible (to destroy the Planet of the Sorcerers to end the Legion, because... Ahriman did the rubric?) and he dies in the dumbest way as well, killed by Ahriman with a thought after totally useless battle where Ahriman struggles for nothing when he could've just one-tapped him with a thought.
