Top Comments of this video!! :3
I just finished this book the other night and though you got some key details wrong this was a pretty good review and the reason I wanted to read it in the first place, since I'm not normally interested in anything Slaanesh-related.
That scene right after the absolute disaster at the beginning when Lucius asks everyone how their battles were was one of the best things I've seen in a 40k book.

You know, it seems that all of The Emperor's Children suffer from some form of degradation: Oleander/much of the Legion suffer from melancholy and lethargy; Luscious is being slowly eaten by a
demon; and The Primogenitor, Daddy Bile is literally degenerating.
I Think they all suffer from a lack of purpose. Perfection's always been their goal, and they've perfected hedonism.
But pleasure is empty.
Without direction the chapter is melting.
Their Primarch abandoned them to ascend to demonhood, and pursue his sybaritic delights.
Most have followed their gene father, yet a few can see the entropic paralysis this path has wrought on the legion.
The Emperor's children will perish unless they unite in a new goal.

Fantastic book reviews / overviews mate, cheers. I love to pop them on when I'm drifting off! I know I'll never even scratch the surface of most of the Black Library, so this is a nice way to consume the lore but with a bit more of the pace, narrative and detail that comes from being composed on a novel-by-novel basis. I'm certain your channel will grow rapidly if you keep creating this kind of content.
The other guys I follow for 40k lore are Arch, 40k Theories and Vaults of Terra. Luetin09 did a couple of fantastic introductory videos which I recommend to anyone starting out in the universe, but he runs a fairly large channel and I don't think the 40k lore content was getting him enough views amongst his established audience to justify the time and effort he put into producing them.
I've tried a couple of others for a time and just not kept up with them so much, not naming any names but some just seem to read out from the Wiki pages in a dry way without any personality, depth, opinion or real analysis. But I'll definitely be with your channel until you hit 40,000! All the best.
P.S. Just purely out of trivial interest, one of the things I've always liked is the human side of a lot of the stuff that's sometimes dealt with a bit clinically... For example, there are plenty of videos out there about the Boltgun, but they tend to focus on stuff like the history, the different marks and patterns, etc. Whereas I am always more captivated by the way they're described in the books, with reverence, by the emperor's mortal human subjects!
I got to thinking if a selection of bits in all the books about meer mortals seeing an Astartes for the first time, or a Chaos marine, or a Rhino tank, or people getting vapourised by plasma guns, that would make for some fantastic videos that would offer a bit more of a taste of what life would be like in this grimmest and darkest of universes!
