Publisher's summary

A Daughters of Khaine audiobook.

The Daughters of Khaine bleed the realms dry in the name of their god, across three linked stories that show both the aelves' skill at war and dedication to their bloody-handed master.

Listen to it because: dive into a trio of blood-soaked stories that intertwine to form a novel showcasing the deadly talent and vicious cruelty of Morathi's aelven warriors.

The story: rising from the gloom-shrouded cults of Ulgu, the empire of the Daughters of Khaine now dominates the Realm of Shadow. These matriarchal witch-aelves are graceful masters of death who revel in spilling blood, and whose opposition to Chaos borders on mania. Proud governors of their own ruthless agendas, it is their devotion to Khaine, the ancient aelven god of murder, the Daughters seek to prove above all—and alongside it, the favour of his high priestess, Morathi. To this end, a Khainite would bleed the realms dry in dedication to her cause.

This portmanteau novel weaves together three brutal tales, each telling of a witch-aelf burdened by an impossible task: Trisethni of the Khailebron sect, Nepenora of the Kharumathi, and Vahis of the Draichi Ganeth. Whether by poisoned chalice, enchanted blade or razored whip-lash, these murderesses honour Khaine with gifts of slaughter to rival even their hag queens’. But faced with their most arduous trials yet, will remarkable skill in the art of war be enough to claim victory?

Written by Anna Stephens, Liane Merciel and Jamie Crisalli. Audiobook running time 12 hours 14 minutes. Read by Colleen Prendergast.

Unforgiveably dull

A generic, easily visible plot that reveals itself from the onset of the story which then is plainly written in one of the most boring Age of Sigmar stories I've ever read. I understand this setting needs authors and content, but this bland, stream of consciousness "storytelling" is getting old real fast. I appreciate being immersed in the unique and colorful universe of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar; but this is not the way forward. This is just another cookie-cutter story and the fact it's based in Age of Sigmar feels more like a coincidence than by actual design.

As generic as a saltine

The first story is barely more than a mad lib. The second is not much better. The actors are blood spilling killers, but express at times the most naive emotions. I was hoping to experience the age of signal, the zeal of these cultists, and come away with a little bit more of an understanding of this faction. But they have less depth than 80’s movie sorority girls.

I hate to be so negative. I wish I hadn’t wasted my time on this and listen to something else as I painted minis. Go find something better. This is ketchup added to water and called soup. We accept it because there isn’t anything else.

(edit)
I'm trying really hard to finish this. I'm into chapter 5 of the last book, and it is terribly boring. After 2 and a half books in this collection, I know nothing more about the world everyone is living in, what it's like to live there, what motivations of groups are, histories, or anything. This is all a bunch of catty sorority sisters who hate each other, back stab each other every chance they get, hold grudges, and then wonder why blood rituals don't work. The world is flat and dead. It doesn't live. The characters are a bore. There's no reason to root for them, against them, or be indifferent. Why cheer for one character over another? They're just going to whine about mysteriously losing favor because they don't feel anything when they do a blood ritual. Follow this 'I wonder what is wrong' with 'I hate her, I'm going to kill her when as soon as I can'.

I can't finish this book.
