Summary

A Gotrek Gurnisson Audiobook

Saving the life of a blaspheming warrior priest, Gotrek finds himself bound to a new companion – and drawn to the Realm of Life, where a terrible threat is infecting its way into reality.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Gotrek Gurnisson, the legendary Slayer, picks up a new accomplice – and faces a truly grotesque challenge in the disease-ridden spawn of the Plague God himself.

THE STORY

Deep in the wilds of Ghyran, a former warrior priest preaches for humanity to reject the gods. The sole survivor of a massacred Dawnbringer Crusade, Amara Fidellus believes that Sigmar has betrayed her – and when she faces execution for such blasphemy, it’s only the intervention of a drunken, taciturn and incredibly violent Slayer that saves her life.

Now bound to Gotrek Gurnisson by a life-debt, Amara finds herself caught up in his quest for revenge. But when the duo become aware of a sorcerous threat building on the far Rocanian Coast, Gotrek and Amara must put aside their own desires for retribution to confront a terrible danger that could plunge all of Ghyran into Chaos, and see a deadly aspect of Nurgle’s Garden manifest in the Mortal Realms.

Pulling a 180

I liked the story, decent supporting characters and a fun, if easy, storyline however it just feels so disconnected from the previous story I felt like gotrek had at long last found his footing and even new purpose in these new realms, to see his people united and strong, with a new appreciation for the supiror old world I'm sure he would have expounded at them but then events... (no spoilers) he just falls back into mindless drinking and aimless grudges, which is fun but I felt like we were really getting somewhere with the greater story.

what you'd expect...

think we all know what to expect from Gotrek by now, this fits those expectations nicely. was sad to hear Rhubarb the cat became a nurgle pirate captain since the TV work ended.

Progress?

Great story, always a great listen when Gotrek is involved. But feels like a filler?

Gotten doing what Gotrek does

A good start to the new arc, not as good as the best Gotrek stories but solid.

The new companion is a solid character and had a good backstory and developed through he story.

The prologue hinted at a broader story arc than that we’ve seen so far so shows promise.

Worth a listen

A really rotten story (pun intended)

The story is a bit on the weak side, but I’m happy as long as Gotrek is angry and/or drunk, something which he is most, if not all, of the time.

It was quite disturbing to hear the narrator cough throughout the book, but it felt real, making the Nurgle characters seem more infested and disgusting.

Not quite the best gotrek story felt forced.

whilst the voice acting was quality as usual the story fell a bit flat. I've enjoyed all the gotrek and felix books so far and I know gotrek can be used to shoehorn in new models and factions. However this just felt a bit forced, there was no mention of the venture to the dwarf holds the last book left on. Instead he's back to looking for grimnirs axe.

The new sidekick was meh at best maybe some more development but her motives felt very petty and selfish. Seems to also be going down the route of 40k that faith is the best weapon against chaos. The witch hunter following them seems interesting looking forward to him catching up, well if the author remembers this in the next book.
