review 1: Ari Marmell disproves the rule that all books based on games are horrible. The War Machines: Iron Kingdoms only provides the background for an exciting tale of spying and fighting. In Thunder Forged (trade from Pyr) is an exciting adventure.Dignity is a spy from Cygnar in allied Llael hunting for a stolen alchemichal formula and avoiding Khador spies. The city is under attack from Khador, and to help Dignity escape one she has found the formula, the Cygnarians send a Knight, Katherine Laddermore whose lance shoots electric bolts, and a squad of warjacks commanded by Sergeant Berwynne pulled off the front. The squad loses half their men fighting their way to the city of Leryn and the knight has one of her squires murdered in his bead. That’s only the prelude because the f... moreorumla is in the hands of an alchemist who wants both sides to bid for the formula and both side cheat. Review published in the Philadelphia Weekly Press
review 2: This was my first Warmachine novel (I have read some of the setting's short stories and novellas) and I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, while the story was not bad, it did not have a lot of what I expect from Warmachine- Warjacks mainly. I recognized now that it was more of a spy story than a war story, but even with this I wish there was a little more character development and elaboration on some of the occupational classes depicted (the Gun Mage character had some development while Trenchers and Long Gunner, for example, really had nothing describe to distinguish them from each other if you are not already familiar with the game setting). Overall, I still liked the book and will most likely see what happens in its sequel. less
