About this listen

A Gotrek & Felix Audiobook

Five centuries ago, a great city of the Empire was destroyed by a comet and became a haunted nightmare called the City of the Damned. Though it is long gone, its legacy remains, and through dark magic, Gotrek and Felix are about to experience the horrors it holds.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's a gripping tale featuring events and supernatural elements that will haunt the Slayer and his companion in the future, even as they explore the past.

THE STORY

Long have the City of the Damned's fallen towers remained undisturbed by the people of Ostermark, but now an ancient evil stirs in the depths, gathering its strength once more.

Gotrek and Felix are swept up in the crusade of Baron Gratz von Kuber to cleanse the city, and as the ruins are torn from the passage of time itself, the Slayer's doom appears to be approaching more quickly than either of them would like.

this book I think is absolutely perfect for setting up the eventual conclusion to Gotrek and Felix. The narration is spot on, the story is gripping, and it feels like there's real stakes all throughout the book. Definitely pick this one up!

Don't skip out on this one!

The opening and first half of the book is great. I got a little spun around towards the end with how familiar everything became. Also Gotrek misidentifying a beast was a head scratcher but he does have one eye. Keeble is incredible !

A blur of a city

A close friend of mine was listening to this book when he got in a car wreck where his airbags didn't deploy, no one got hurt and he walked away unscathed, Gotrek's luck (or unluck in Gotrek's case) seems to have rubbed off on him.

Great book too btw!

Great Atmosphere for October

Rather round about and rambling. No continuing story. And I miss Kat and her many arrows.

Ulrika the Vampire came out but only in German. I really hate to be that guy but English please.

These are by far, my favorite Warhammer fantasy stories but ever since 12 and they started using different authors. It’s not as consistent still great but there’s a few other questions books one through 12 absolute masterpieces everything else then it’s like 75% still love the story. Still love the characters. Just wish they tied into the first 12 a little bit more road of skulls oh my god worst in the series it’s still good though.

Loved it just wish the it was William king

Overall I enjoyed the story, The story takes awhile to come together and the confusion on the readers part is supposed to happen.

Narration as usual, is amazing

I was honestly hoping Gotrek & Felix would do more than just venture out to interact with mutants, and Chaos faction associated groups. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I was hoping undead, more skaven maybe, and Sisters of Sigmar would make an appearance.

instead, it kinda went into this boring route with mutants, and Gotrek & Felix were temporarily separated for too long, imo, in the story. wish they stood by together much sooner, but for the sake of story telling, it makes sense for this to occur.

The drag of the story

If you’re a fan of Belakor or mordheim this book is a must read. If you’re a Gotrek and Felix fan this is still a must read

I feel like the author didn't read any of the previous books. You see this more often in comic books, but warhammer is just as guilty of it. Felt like after all the main characters had done and seen in previous books, a crappy mercenary captain shouldn't be a significant threat.

at least it isn't age of sigmar

First book I’ve listened to by this author. There is good and bad but ultimately it boiled down to: interesting characters were the highlight, and I liked the setting / locale, but the written delivery kind of ruined these positives.

I personally found it hard to follow many of the faster paced beats in the story compared to how other authors write them. Confusing and disjointed when presenting perspective of one of the villains. Poor use of similes or analogies when describing events that have me scratching my head because it doesn’t make sense or is just a bad comparison.

A good encapsulator of these issues is the scene of Rudi, Nils and Martin. I could barely tell who was doing what with the way it was described once things kick off, and “scattering blood to the walls like holy water” except this isn’t in a church, the blood isn’t from a priest, so the comparison just feels picked at random? And one line like this wouldn’t be a big deal but it keeps coming up and distracting me from the overall narrative.

I see this author has written many of the later books in this series and am hoping there is a marked improvement in quality in later entries. If not I may have to switch to reading just so I can better grasp the vaguer passages.

The audio performance is great, same as all the past books.
