Story
A secret army of Orcs, made immortal by the hidden powers of the Black Water, now marches towards Girdlegard, set to unleash its fury upon the kingdom. Sooner than they realise, Tungdil and his comrades will need to summon all their courage to do battle against this bloodthirsty horde. The Orcs are not the only threat. An unspeakable new power is growing and threatens the very existence of the dwarves. But both enemies have forgotten one very important truth: a dwarf is never more dangerous than when total obliteration seems inevitable....

Combining the acclaimed trilogy of books, Bodyguard of Lightning, Legion of Thunder, and Warriors of the Tempest, plus a new short story previously only available in a small press anthology, this is the entire story of Struke and his band of Orcs. Fantasy's bad guys finally their own say in this fast moving, action packed, tongue-in-cheek tale of Orc valor and human treachery.

The difference in their uncanny eyes could not be easily discerned. In the rays of the setting sun, both Aravel's and Morlan's eyes appeared gold. In the pale moonlight...yellow. Seemingly the same. Such inscrutable likeness is the way of things with identical twins. But all who knew the two brothers well noted unmistakable differences, peculiarities more experienced than seen.

Story
Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

It is said that all who live belong ultimately to the Undying King. In the shadowy lands of Shyish, Nagash, God of Death, calls forth his soulless legions to reassert his dominion. His dread advance begins with the free city of Glymmsforge, bastion of Azyr in the Realm of Death. Standing between Nagash and his prize are the brooding Anvils of the Heldenhammer, an ancient host of Stormcast Eternals, and Lord-Castellant Pharus Thaum, guardian of the Ten Thousand Tombs. As battles between the living and the dead rage throughout the Mortal Realms, the War of Heaven and Death begins anew.

According to mythology, mankind used to live in 'The Tranquiline Halls': heaven. But then the Voidbringers assaulted and captured heaven, casting out God and men. Men took root on Roshar, the world of storms, but the Voidbringers followed. The Almighty gave men powerful suits of armor and mystical weapons, the Shardblades. Led by 10 angelic Heralds and 10 orders of knights known as Radiants, mankind finally won (or so the legends say).

Now, however, one has been found by the unlikeliest of wielders: Sampson Gaard, a blind but ambitious prince with something to prove. The only question is whether he controls the blade or the blade him. With an insidious evil lurking in the shadows, the answer may very well determine the fate of all Kingfall.

The End Times is here!
- By Robin Dahlström on 09-09-21
Summary
For countless millennia, no man or beast has ever succeeded in breaching the stone gateway into Girdlegard. Until now....
Abandoned as a child, Tungdil the blacksmith is the only dwarf in a kingdom of men. But when he is sent out into the world to deliver a message and reacquaint himself with his people, the young foundling finds himself thrust into a battle for which he has not been trained.
Not only his own safety, but the life of every man, woman and child in Girdlegard depends upon his ability to embrace his heritage. Although he has many unanswered questions, Tungdil is certain of one thing: no matter where he was raised, he is a true dwarf. And no one has ever questioned the courage of the Dwarves.

This was an OK story but lacks depth
I purchased this book as I enjoy tales set in the realm of fantasy, where the main character learns how to become the person they are to be. However the issues I had with this book, is that it left certain elements unexplained. Especially in regards to the world the book is set in. It also suffered from fighting scenes becoming very linguistical.
I also felt it killed some of the earlier mentioned characters too soon, which made you wonder why bother having them in the first place. Yet it later on kept characters alive which you felt would die, which reduced the gravity of the tale.
Overall the story was too clean and lacking in any depth.

Clichéd Garbage
It's not often I can't finish a book, but this is just clichéd garbage. I don't know if it's the German writing style or the translation, but it reads more like a children's book.
The narration is also flat and monotonous, although the character voices are varied and well done.

Childish
Sorry to be so critical but this book may disappoint you as it has me. The story tries hard but it can't get past the text which may have been the product of Google translate and the narration which sounded more suited to a children's story. Maybe it was meant to be one?

Loved it.
Its like an "R" rated Lord of the Rings.
Shockingly emotional, it has loads of highs and many more lows as you go thought the book, tugged at the heart strings more than once.
I'm looking forward to listening the the next instalment.

Excellent narrator
Matthew Wolf does an excellent job narrating this large and varied cast. He brought the characters to life, understanding their emotions and motivations which gave the characters far more depth.
I enjoyed the story, which had some interesting twists. It was fascinating to delve deep into the world of dwarves, a welcome change from humans and elves.
The characters shone as they developed and I would have liked more of this.
