Summary
Siege of Terra Book 7
With the walls of the Imperial Palace in ruins and the end in sight， Sanguinius prepares one final stand。 The loyalists are desperate， and the Warmaster’s hordes are certain of their coming victory。
READ IT BECAUSE
The myriad battles of the Siege of Terra series are pulling into a taut weave of tension， horror， and certain doom。 Just when you thought it was bad， it gets worse。
THE STORY
The walls have fallen。 The defenders are broken。 The Inner Palace lies in ruins。
The Warmaster’s horde advances through the fire and ash of Terra's dying breaths， forcing the loyalists back to the Delphic Battlement – the very walls of the Sanctum Imperialis。 Angron， Primarch of the World Eaters and Herald of Horus， has achieved immortality through annihilation – now he leads the armies of the damned in a wrathful tide， destroying all before them as the warp begins its poisonous corruption of Terra's very soil。
For the Emperor’s beleaguered forces， the end has come。 The Khan lies on the edge of death。 Rogal Dorn is encircled， fighting his own war at Bhab Bastion。 Guilliman will not reach Terra in time。 Without his brothers， Sanguinius – the Angel of the Ninth Legion – waits on the final battlements， hoping to rally a desperate band of defenders and refugees for one last stand。

it all comes worse from knowing as a reader that Magnus willingly choose his Dammanation instead of having to believe this Book that protrays Magnus as a arrogant Blind Man unwilling to see to the truth。‘No，’ Vulkan said gently。 ‘You believed you had to warn Him。 You believed as you always believe – that you knew best， that you had to act， that you alone knew what had to be done。 And never once did you think， through all this destruction， that there was something deceiving you。’The sorcerer glared at him。 ‘Why do you speak to me as if I were a lowly pawn in this game of regicide？ The Warmaster and the Emperor both know I am the most valuable piece on the board。’Vulkan was unmoved by the sorcerer’s words， and by the cataclysm playing out before him。 His tone was patient， as it had been in the days before the war。‘Vanity is what leads you， Magnus。 You choke on arrogance， unable to see you are the architect of your own downfall。 All the others， all of Horus’ broken monsters， at least they can see the bars of their cages。 Even Horus， driven out of his mind to serve as a hive for the Pantheon， knows in his soul’s core that he has lost control。 You are the only one that still believes he is free。’In silence， Magnus shook his head。 The world turned with the motion。All taken to heart Echoes of Etenity is a mixed bag its a 3。0 out of 5。0 because of it choices。 It Elevates Some Charachters incredibly well and regresses others to their base components almost trope narrative that already been estabalished and trodden by other writers。 。。。more

A lengthy but lacking substance novel。 I found many pages so tediously repetitive and drawn out I wanted to skip。 Some really interesting moments， but as a whole I found it a disappointing read。
