I thought that part where he confronts Sanguinius in Pharos was excellent. It was the highlight of the book, and it came out of fucking nowhere. I'm not sure how that was supposed to relate to the story in any way, lol. Pretty sure that author just thought, "Fuck, this story they gave me is pointless. Might as well throw the fans a bone and write this awesome confrontation between two Primarchs." Stole the show.

>‘There is no time, fool! The warp showed me that, everything happens at once. Don’t you see? That is how we see! Time is a book to be read at will. Tell me, why did you not turn? You could have snuffed Horus out like a candle. They offered you the galaxy as a plaything.’
>‘You overstate their offer. I will not be a slave.’
>‘You are a slave. A slave to Father’s will, and a slave to fate. Our only choice is what manner of slavery we shall embrace, and even that choice is an illusion.’
>‘There is always a choice.’
>‘There never is a choice,’ spat Curze. ‘Everything goes back to the beginning, round and round and round and round and round, clack clack clack, all the little cogs, turning turning turning turning.’
>The hammering from outside changed. Heavy combat weapons were being employed against the door, a bone-shaking crunching that boomed loudly with every dent put into the metal.
>‘Do you not think it should have been you? Should Father have chosen you as Warmaster, do you think?’
>‘What?’ said Sanguinius incredulously.
>‘It’s a fair question!’ protested Curze. ‘Roboute sees fit to declare you emperor! Do you not think the Emperor could not have seen fit to declare you Warmaster? You see, although I see your actions before you do, our shared abilities makes reading your intentions so very hard. Your fate is your fate, not mine, and I am genuinely curious. To tell you the truth,’ he laughed apologetically, ‘it is killing me. I have to know.’
>‘It should not have been me,’ said Sanguinius. ‘I am not perfect. I am not worthy.’ >Curze burst out laughing, so hard he could not control himself. His rank breath choked the room. ‘I am sorry! I am sorry, that is so marvelous. If you were not worthy, then what about Horus?’
