Very different from the first book Witch Hunter. The first was basically a murder mystery where the reader was also solving the mystery in Finder the reader mainly observes the events as an all seeing entity. This does not make the book worse but maybe a bit duller. The book does a good job in showing how different aspects relate and affect each other to the reader while the characters remain oblivious. The main character becomes significantly deeper but in the same time starts to lose his chari...
I really enjoyed this book and the others in the series, its fun, action packed, darkly humorous and overall a good read.
A fun and dark tale, with an impressive roster of overlapping threats and a wonderfully chaotic finale.
Very different from the first one but once again, is just an ideal book to read in bus/plane/train, etc. like With Hunter. The plot and characters are interesting again but you don't need to focus on them and you can take a break anytime. The story is much more "epic" than the first one, this time there is not some village and castle but the entire town at stake. There is much more blood and death, less mystery but this shows the second side of the Warhammer World. Where Dark Powers are a real d...
A nice, quick read to add to the warhammer mythos. Although the book may have too many characters (especially villains) for it's short length it manages to wrap up nicely at the end with an awesome battle of Skaven, vampires, zombies and humans in the middle. Pretty epic.
Not bad for a Warhammer novel, but a bit over the top. Werner clearly tried to fit too many story lines together, and decided to resolve several of them in about 10 pages towards the end,.
This is a great Warhammer Fantasy novel that features Nurgle, the Skaven, vampires, and noir intrigue. Thulmann, the main character, is similar in spirit to Robert E. Howard's famous "Solomon Kane" character, but he is not a carbon copy. He is distinct. For example, Thulmann is less fanatical than Kane and ever-so-slightly makes exceptions to his rigid Sigmarite principles; he also has a sidekick, Streng, who joyfully foils the Witch Hunter's piety with profanity. This novel features a plague co...
So how much does Mathias Thulmann resemble Solomon Kane? Somewhat. Kane spends his time in the borderlands of the world, channeling his disturbingly ecstatic relationship to violence and digging out the elder troubles. Thulmann travels the heart of the empire, digging out the rot within, a rot intent on destroying human civilization. While Thulmann is clearly a zealot, one never gets the impression that he's outright nuts.This is a lean, efficiently-told story, and while the plot can't quite be
"In the grim medieval Old World, the dreaded Witch Hunters are feared above all others. These tyrannical individuals are tasked with hunting out evil throughout the towns and villages, using whatever means they find necessary in order to destroy those foolish enough to ally with the Dark Powers. Counted amongst the most zealous of the Witch Hunters is Mathias Thulmann, a ruthless individual whose exploits are recounted to scare citizens of the Empire."Yeah, yeah... any more lies they want to tel...
Really enjoyed this one. Good intro to the Witch Hunters of the Warhammer universe.
