Horus Heresy Books Which Ones do you consider an Amazing Read?

Hi folks,

I recently stumbled upon the Black Library Horus Heresy novels and I am amazed. I have always been massively into the Horus Heresy time period so to find out there was a huge collection of novels about this era literally blew my mind.

I have completed the first 4 novels and let me just say how incredible the story arc is. The character development the tension is fantastic. I would like to know which books in the series you consider essential reading? There are nearly 50 novels in total so I won't read them all, I am a huge Nathaniel Garro fan so I will be picking up the 'Garro' book soon but I would like your recommendations for others that I should priorities.

Mods - not sure if this type of post about the books is allowed here?
