It is a HIT or a MISS , depending on which book you read of the series, which last time I checked was on book 50ish?
Some are quite good, others decent bolter porn, others are ... ok I guess?
Early ones are great but I think I stopped around book 12 or 13 of the chronological order of printing.
Honestly I find Gaunts Ghosts far superior to the Horus Heresy series, alongside Ravenor and Eisenhorn, but again it might boil down to taste and the fact the HH series has so many authors (and quality of writing) compared to what Dan Abnett pumps out.

I've been reading them in chronological order for several years now, currently on book 43 (Shattered Legions). Many of them were very good reads, some were boring full of forgettable characters, and those were usually the anthology books with too many short stories. My enthusiasm for the HH series has waned over the years, mainly as a result of Black Library just not bringing it to a conclusion already. Now after all those HH books, they have started a new series "The Siege of Terra"...
