I really enjoyed reading this story. This is the backstory to one of my favorite characters in the Warmachine/Hordes setting so I am a bit biased on this. What I also liked is that the story does switch between the prospective of the escapee and the purser so that you can a feel how they are progressing during the story.
I'm familiar with the setting of the Iron Kingdoms, I play the wargame and the card game, both released by Privateer Press. This means I know who Thagrosh is.Thagrosh is the protagonist of this book. I found this a fascinating read, because it really taught me something about my own writing. Something to avoid.No character in this book ever makes a decision. It's VERY boring because of it.None of the main characters make a conscious decision, they all just talk about how they HAD to carry on, an...
Great back story for Thagrosh, it really aded a lot of depth to an already interesting character. One thing I disliked was the chapter titles being the name of the character from whose viewpoint the story was being told for that chapter. The titles seemed redundant as it was obvious within the first two sentences. A must read for any Iron Kingdoms fan.
Nice little diversion, nothing particular special about this story, nothing horrible either.
Good readAs a whole it was a good read slow start and not bad. The ogrun took awhile to figure out. It was kind of confusing to imagine what Thagrosh looked like whether monster part human or what. That's probably all I should say so it doesn't give new readers to much information. All and all I would give it thumbs up.
DisappointedI really thought I was reading another book by Larry Correa. This book did not follow the first book in the series. It really felt like the book kept going on and on and didn't need to. I won't read any more in this series.
I've been eagerly awaiting the second novella in the Warlock Sagas for quite some time now, especially once it was revealed to center around Thagrosh, one of my favorite characters in the setting. However, Roughly 1/2 of the novella even takes place from his perspective. There was a good deal to like in this novella, but little of it will appeal to Legion of Everblight fans. Those who favor the nation of Khador will be much more pleased. Not a bad entry in the series, but I was expecting signifi...
The story is told too much through exposition and internal monologues. More dialog and more character-to-character interactions would have made it a much stronger story and also much longer. I suspect that was deliberate choice in the balance of the story. Keeping it short allows a lot of history to be covered but feels closer to the game sourcebook entry than the full fiction story. The thing that makes me like it is how I feel I can see all the pieces in place in the story for believable and i...
