review 1: This is the most conflicted I've been about a book in recent years. It is a BRILLIANTLY written book.... except that the character dynamic between Gotrek and Felix doesn't match any of the other books!The action scenes, the adventure bits, the bad guys, the characters encountered; all are written excellently and i genuinely enjoyed reading it and hope to read similar from this author in the future... just not in a Gotrek and Felix novel. Each time the two were interacting, it felt like their whole persona had been lessened to a kind of 60s Batman and Robin relationship. Felix's 20+ years of gradually increasing badassery were lost in place of, "holy smokes, Gotrek! Things are pretty tense, huh?"I encourage readers to make up their own minds on this one. Please don't be pu... moret off the book by my personal opinion. It could be that according you, the role definition between the two improves the understanding of the story. Read it and find out!
review 2: I'm really hoping this is the beginning book of the series that will see Gotrek meet his fate. He and Felix are awesome characters, but I'm starting to get tired of this whole "he has a grand fate in front of him" thing. They need to resolve the character's fate.This book unto itself, was awesome. Joshua does a really good job at characterization, which is a hard thing to accomplish in a high fantasy world. I also enjoyed how the story was built upon established mythology of the universe, and in general he brought about sides of both main characters that hadn't always surfaced very well in the past, including Felix's constant teasing of Gotrek, which Gotrek seems not to hear. less
