The Traitor Host of Horus Lupercal tightens its iron grip on the Palace of Terra, and one by one the walls and bastions begin to crumple and collapse. Rogal Dorn, Praetorian of Terra, redoubles his efforts to keep the relentless enemy at bay, but his forces are vastly outnumbered and hopelessly outgunned. Dorn simply cannot defend everything. Any chance of survival now requires sacrifice, but what battles dare he lose so that others can be won? Is there one tactical stroke, one crucial combat, that could turn the tide forever and win the war outright?

Siege of Terra: Saturnine review

4 stars

As expected, a very good book that is the best of the SoT so far. Saturnine is the first book in the SoT that has Dorn feel like an actual character and not the walking trope he was in the previous novels. The other characters are also good, the guardsmen are all quite interesting, and the new rememberancers bring back a normal perspective on the Astartes that had felt lacking at times. On the whole, good book but could be better, cant wait for the next one.
