Solid prequel for the new Gotrek series

While not the original, better series Kinslayer and the soon to be rereleased Slayer are fine companions to begin making more sense of the Realmslayer arc beginning in Age of Sigmar. This is the first part in the story of both how the Old World was consumed and how Gotrek is even alive many millenia later. Much more high fantasy than the usual Gotrek and Felix sword and sorcery these are pretty quickly paced and larger in scope than most of the series so much of the charm just isnt there. As an ending to the series they were a mixed bag, as a prequel to current times in Age of Sigmar theyre just about perfect because they may be rediculous but not as confusing as AoS can get.

Very much hoping there is the original series coming to audio as theyre some of the best examples of fantasy writing under the entire Warhammer brand and if theyre gonna give Gotreks background we at least need the Grey Seers as well seeing as hes somehow still around in "current" times.

I had no idea what was going on but I loved it.

i am a 40k and HH fan. Never really got into Warhammer Fantasy or Age of Sigmar. But I know these two guys from seeing their art and stories. So when I saw the Kinslayer and Slayer books I thoguht they were a kind of rebooting the characters for AOS. Turns out I was totally wrong and most of the characters are from previous stories and tons of references to older stories so I barely had any idea of what was going on the whole time...but it was still a fun listen. It is a great story and i am sure if you're a fan you'll love it. Jonathan Keeble is awesome. That guy could read the phonebook and I'd find it enthralling.

Yuck.

The beginning of the end for a great series that was clearly hastily wrapped up in favor of AoS stuff. I'm not one to not welcome change but this whole thing the "Twist" of the book, the bitterness of all of it is downright sad. The writing is good, and props to david for what was written and how it was done. Its just a limp hollow send off this way for a few characters. It doesn't make sense to me, and i wish it could have ended differently.

Another great Felix and Gotrek tale

Keeble's performance is great. Only parts I didn't care for were for some of the flashbacks. No spoilers, the ending is worth it.

I cried for 15 minutes in my car

I knew things would have to end a certain way for a certain character but… I don’t think a character death has ever hit me so hard. Johnathan Keeble you are a masterclass in voice work.

just an epic, pure epic.

SNORRI. SNORRI. one of the best side characters ever. just an amazing story. It really ties it all together, not the way you want but the way you know it has to be. the dark world of sigmar.

Spoilers

Don't read if you haven't listened to this story yet.
Oh man where to begin. You can tell that this is the beging of the end from a mile away. However the execution is masterfully done.

The ending of this book, made me stop everything I was doing and listen. I don't think a peice of fiction has made me tear up that much since I had to read Where the Red Fern Grows in elementary school. Snorri Nosebiter has been my favorite character since his first appearance in Daemon Slayer. His death doesn't feel like just another expendable character's death, it's like having your childhood dog, put down due to old age. I highly suggest that you find a place to sob while listening to that part.
