About this listen

A Warhammer Age of Sigmar Audiobook

Beyond the mountain range of the Adamantine Chain, Aqshy lies destroyed. Noxious fires light up the horizon, death skitters in the smoke, and a wasteland of horror threatens the entire realm. Humanity has but a single hope: the Reclusians of the Ruination Chamber. These Stormcast Eternals, though few in number, are the only force capable of enduring the perils of this dark era, for their souls are already broken.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Experience a desperate race against time as Stormcast Eternals of the Ruination Chamber find themselves fighting not only the scheming and skittering Skaven, but also the cruel realities of their own shattered souls, and inevitable destinies.

THE STORY

Deep in the heart of the Skaven apocalypse, where survival lies on a knife edge, ratmen and Reclusians alike race towards a prize that will turn the tide of war – a lost Stormcast brother. Should the enemy uncover his forbidden knowledge, Aqshy will surely fall, so, for the chosen of Sigmar, failure is not an option.

The journey is long and full of strife, and for the mortal acolytes who accompany the Reclusians – guardians of their memories and faith – it may be the last steps they take. Yet together, they are hope when hope is dying, a truth they all must seize upon. For without it, they are victims of nightmares and shadow, ushering in this new Hour of Ruin.

Years ago I heard lots of people talk about a great movie called "Sideways". I watched it and hated it. I wanted to punch the protagonist in the face for being an idiot throughout the movie.

That's how I feel about Sephora (however it is spelled). She is the whiniest character. I get the anger for the character, but she's got no depth. I hate listening to this character. She is tedious to listen to. Unfortunately, it looks like she's being set up to be something of a skywalker for this story.

I'll edit this review if I can finish the audio book. But if someone eventually gives this character a punch in the face or removes from the plot, I will cheer.

Only on chapter 8...

Just really kind of miserable. Learning about this particular chamber of Stormcast was cool, but everything else was forgettable.

Skaventide? No, this is Humanpuddle.

Was a good listen, not as much action. as I would have liked but still entertaining

the build up

It was ok, not great. Honestly the title is misleading and these reviews are a little off the mark I feel. There is no Skaven horde save for a few pages of the book. The rest is about ninja Skaven who grow extremely tiresome as they take up 90% of the book doing the same thing repeatedly, making the same sounds repeatedly. The mortal protagonist is excellent though, the saving grace.

Not as good as the reviews made it seem?

I have nothing negative to say about this book, by far the best AOS book in my opinion.

Top things about the book:
-Very grimdark, very brutal
-new skaven clan
-skaven pirates
-great "we have won but at what cost" vibes
Worst things:
-Literally 0 skaven pov
-stormcasts for the most part are flavorless and generic through 2/3 of the book
-please stop repeating that "hope is a lie" like 5x times per chapter
-ending felt rushed somehow after a book that felt too long

Great performance mid story

Fair story with one-off characters. as far as edition launch stories not their best, but if you want to see how the new subfactions think and act, this is a good option.

Average Warhammer Pulp
