I'm unaware of any discussion about this serialized novel here on Dakka Dakka, so I figured I'd start one.
There's a lot of good fluffy meat in it.
Spoiler:
‘You do not know what the warp is. None of you do. The Emperor kept those truths hidden, and for all we know he has tried to stamp out those who still understand them. The Khan never agreed with this. The two of them argued. This is the great question, szu, the one they fell out over – can you rest an empire on a lie?’
....
‘It is why Nikaea happened. The Imperium is wilfully blind. Deliberately so. It has never wished to look at what holds it together.’
‘What does this have to do with Chondax?’ asked Ilya, growing flustered.
‘One can orchestrate warp storms.’
‘Nonsense!’

It's quite interesting to see this - this little divide between the Khan and the Emperor. I wonder how any interaction with him and Emps at Terra, or even Dorn, will go.
Also, the Ullanor exchange is priceless.

I share, and have mentioned if I don't mind blowing my own trumpet , the Scars same sentiment on Nikaea, so it's nice to see a Space Marine mention it in an actual book.

But that divide is also interesting, as is the Khans understanding of said thing in spoiler.

I am unfortunately going to have to wait for this to come out in book form, but I am looking forward to it as Chris Wraight is a pretty good author in 40k.

No pity, no remorse, no shoes

No doubt about that - Wraight's really shown himself to be an excellent writer recently. BotF was great, and now this.
