Lots of opportunity, very little pay off.

Revisado: 01-21-23

The first third or so of the book is great with lots of interesting threads, characters, and places where the store "could" go. There is an air of mystery and intrigue, internal turmoil and foreshadowed character flaws. Then the story does almost nothing with them, and it all just sort of ends in the typical stormcast fight fight fight scenario. It's not terrible if that is what you wanted, it's just that the first third makes it feel like there was so much more the novel could have done.

Not the greatest AoS entry

Revisado: 04-15-22

The story is sub par. The performance, over the top. The characters, wholly uninteresting.

A good look at the armies, but light on the story

Revisado: 04-15-21

With so much happening in the Broken Realms narrative arc across Age of Sigmar at the time the book came out, it is a bit of a shame that this story focused on such a small section of that narrative. I get that they are trying to humanize (elfenize?) the overarching struggle, but it still falls short for me in the story area. Characters, and plot are just okay.

That said, it is a fun look at the different units within the armies if you are big into the tabletop game, (which if you are ready a review of an Age of Sigmar book, you probably are). I'd even say it is a better look at the dynamics of the Bonereapers than it is of the Lumineth. Both armies get nearly equal time to shine, and different units are described along with their interactions with different parts of the army. Interesting stuff.

TLDR: Plot and characters are a meh, but fun if you want to read about your miniature units

Feels like realmgate wars, a good thing

Revisado: 03-17-21

A solid entry if you love listening to the myriad descriptions of the different factions and armies. Reads like the realmgate wars books but with more factions coming to bare. No overarching plot for AoS, but that's not a deal breaker.

Good Story, Great Characters

Revisado: 02-27-19

Yeah, Nagash is a bit of a bore, but that's the only minor criticism that I could throw at the book. I do think that is a bit on purpose though, as he is meant to be a foil to Sigmar.

I am continually impressed at the caliber of writing within the Age of Sigmar, Black Library. If you are interested in how the story is progressing, and (if like me) you are interested in seeing what Stormcasts are like as people (not quite humans), then this is a definite read.

The main story arc is entertaining and has its twists and turns and surprisingly good character development. What is even more interesting is that even the minor characters have well written and portrayed threads throughout the novel.

Good read, great characters. Highly recommend.
