review 1: William King, probably best known for his Warhammer novels (fantasy and sci-fi), has created a novel that could best be described as the love-child of Glen Cook's "Black Company" series and Bernard Cornwell's "Sharpe".This is a fantasy set in a world with magic, demons, elves but the technology has progressed as far as black powder weapons. It focuses on a small group in the army and their interactions amongst themselves, their superior officers and locals.Plenty going on, the characters are quite well done and the story moves at a good pace.
review 2: Death's Angels is a good and solid start to this fantasy tale. Although it didn't seem overly loaded with background and history there were some parts that seemed quite slow and a bit of a plod. Having said that ... moreI loved the characters, especially the three heroes, Rik, Weasel and the Barbarian. King is great at creating lovable and memorable characters and they certainly kept me reading when the pace slowed to a crawl.It's definitely not Gotrek and Felix, but I think it could turn into an entertaining series. less
