Any suggestions to the better ones? I've been wanting to branch out into the books.

Read Einsenhorn. Not a part of Horus Heresy, but it's WH40K and it's awesome.

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.

Cool. Thank you!

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
