Are they as good as Leiber's stuff? If you're the kind of reader who enjoys fantasy stories with fight scenes, epic one-liners, and dramatic scenes, I
feel that ANY Gotrek and Felix novel will make you feel right at home. The entire book is just the pair making their way through the land and
having squirmishes with wild mutants, crazy sorcerers, and all kinds of things t hat go bump in the night. Just a moment while we sign you in to your

sworn to find his doom fighting only the strongest of opponents. There's not much to say about them as they're really nothing special, just a bunch
of raucous fantasy stories to help pass the time in an enjoyable, non-thought provoking, manner. While Gotrek and Felix are well portrayed, they
are little more than vehicles for writing about the campaign world. Dec 04, Gabe Quinn added it. In this time of peril, by virtue of his valorous
deeds, a young man claims leadership of the Unberogen tribe. And who is this William King person anyway? Gotrek the dwarf trollslayer and his

three books went on the author seemed to better find his voice and to set tone with description rather than direct statement. I only read the first

point fully delevloped and in many places far more interesting and compelling than the main characters. This book is basically short stories of that
journey, it's very formulaic. Can't get enough about books, music, and movies? It was the second Warhammer novel I read and I was completely
drawn into the story. Still the Warhammer setting is interesting and Gotrek is such a cool badass character that it kept me going. Namely the one
focusing on the POV of Thanquol. Colourful and a little crude in places it's nevertheless a fun read for fantasy fans who don't always demand
clever subplots or advanced characterisation. After a series of nasty accidents, it becomes clear that saboteurs are at work - can our heroes find
the villains in time to save the day? Has the doom Felix has sworn to record finally come? There are no discussion topics on this book yet. Andrew
Cornwallis rated it really liked it May 26, Reading about these adventures help pass the time. If not for Gotrek, Felix would still be sitting in his
home city as a wealthy merchant with his family. The only problem with that is that he keeps winning all of his battles. They soon become friends
and Felix eventually finds out that Gotrek is a Slayer; a dwarf seeking out a heroic death in battle to pay for a past crime. Sign up for LibraryThing
