An unexpectedly deft work, while the to-ing and fro-ing amongst the main characters is somewhat repetitive, the strong presentation of the dark world of Warhammer carries the story through.

Finally some good fu*king book

Starting the year as I mean to go on, by consuming as much trashy sci-fi/fantasy as I can get my eyes around. So pretty much like every year...

Kniha první z trilogie Bestie Chaosu.... Děj by byl jakž takž existující, postavy taky nebyly nejhorší ale být to film, přišel by mi vhodný maximálně tak k žehlení, nebo jako kulisa při vaření nedělního oběda. Existuje totiž moment kdy to není plot twis ale otravná změna.
Nevím jestli to bylo překladem nebo originálem, ale v porovnání s jinými Warhammerovkami mi nepřišla chytlavá.

A very cool trilogy, very Warhammer.
