This review is more about the series than this individual book.
I enjoyed The Beast very much. It casts lights on many aspects of Imperial life that otherwise remain oblique. Since the setting is the rather early post-Heresy Imperium, many developments leading to the grim dark galaxy of M40 are explained. (Not that M32 wasn't grim. Just, not that grim.) It features everything a good W40k series/book has to deliver on: epic, bone shattering battle, pathos, intrigue, glory.
If there is one thing to be wanting, it's the Orks. They remain pretty much faceless. Maybe Black Library/GW will surprise us with a mini-series on Orks?
Otherwise, see this forum thread for hints toW40k Ork stories: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/398021.page
