While travelling north in pursuit of hobgoblin gold, Gotrek and Felix find themselves holed up in the infamous Castle Bilenkov as guests of the curious Count Viktor. While the old man seems harmless enough, Felix soon finds himself the target of an ancient Kislevite curse, battling for his very soul against the insidious daemon Ghrizzhtadt. With Gotrek's resistance to magic waning, the adventurers have no choice but to confront the eternal evil of the Everliving.

Entertaining short story
Revisado: 01-20-25
The story is short and sweet with a villain that jas a cool twist that drew a chuckle from me at the end. I did not like the voice actor's portrayal of Gotrek though. He sounds very off in his intonation, somewhere between gruff and supercilious that doesn't quite manage either.

Harry Flashman: the unrepentant bully of Tom Brown's schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross, has three main talents - horsemanship, facility with foreign languages and fornication. A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the nineteenth century despite trying his utmost to escape them all. Flashman, soldier, duellist, lover, imposter, coward, cad, and hero triumphs in this first installment of The Flashman Papers.

A masterful performance, albeit about a tre cowardly man
Revisado: 11-03-24
The book is very, very well written, the story gripping and interesting and the reading performance is easily one of the best I've heard in the platform for certain.
That said, Flashman is a coward, a liar and a cheat all at once and I think that's the best I can say about him without putting off potential listeners. There's really no good thing I can say about him but that he can cut a good figure when he puts his mind to it and think fast when no one is trying to kill him. If you want a good story told about a villain in all the sense of the word, who gets away with it despite being altogether the most incompetent character on the page just because he can see an oportunity whenever it crops up and make the most of it, this may be for you.
The author's so good in his writing that I listened aaaaall the way to the end, hoping he'd get what was coming to him (or at least show ONE redeeming quality) despite his telling me outright in the first couple pages that there wouldn't be any of that anywhere in the book.
I didn't believe him, and here I am: having listened to 10 hours and change of a very good story about a man I'd rather have died and feeling very dissatisfied at the end because he didn't while several, much better people did. I find I'm not cynical enough to listen to the rest of the books in the series that almost certainly would leave me feeling the same way despite being very well written and (if the performance here is any indication) masterfully read.
This might be for you, if you're in the mood to root for the bad guy (and trust me, there'll plenty of moments where it'll be very clear the villain of the story is the man whose story you're listening to, no matter what Flashman himself says on the topic).
