Thanquol and Boneripper in thick of it. This time trying to make it trough sea of lizard things. It was action packed story filled with skaven amiable approach to everything.
Usually part two is the weakest part of every trilogy but for a few exceptions, but this second novel of C.L. Werner's Thanquol & Bonerippers one is far better, hilarious and grimdark than previous book.Just imagine a fantasy version of "Green Inferno" (or "Cannibal Holocaust"...) set in Warhammer green hell of Lustria continent with lizardmen, ratmen, (view spoiler)[zombie pirates (the Black Mary new jolly roger flag is a simply hard to forget masterpiece scene...), giant living/undead god-snak...
A fantastic story from the Old World. While it picks up where Grey Seer left off, you shouldn't be afraid to dive straight into this story as you'll miss very little.GW are currently reintroducing the Warhammer Horror and, I think, this sits firmly in that vein. This is a Heart of Darkness, Lords of the Flies, survival horror-type deal. You get a great feel for the treacherous, squabbling skaven and the mystical seraphon/lizardmen civilisation. But best of all you get some humans caught in betwe...
Thanquol escapes from the wrath of the Slann.
CAUTION HERE MAY BE SPOILERS!The second of three spin of works from the Gotrek and Felix books follow Thanquol into the jungles of Lustria. I've read and own over seventy Warhammer books and it's not all that often I come across something I haven't heard before. And this happened with this book. It's the first book I have read that is based in the jungles of Lustria! I've waited for ages to finally read a book about this bizarre Amazon-like place. And once again C.L.Werner does not disappoint.Th...
Another entertaining episode in the life of Skavenblight's #1 most mighty and successful grey seer, Thanquol. All in all, I thought it was a pretty fun read, though a bit of a slog in the latter half. The beginning half of the book was really interesting with its broad descriptions of life in the under-empire, the machinations of different clan lords vying for power, the near-death encounters Thanquol has with Eshin assassins, the first steps onto Lustria with its many mysteries and unknown peri...
Thanquol and his rat ogre Boneripper return in "Temple of the Serpent", the sequel to "Grey Seer". Although this is the second entry in C. L. Werner's Thanquol & Boneripper saga, it is not necessary for you to read them in order, as each novel is pretty much self-contained.After his failure in "Grey Seer", Thanquol returns to Skavenblight and faces the Council of Thirteen. Needless to say, they rat lords are far from pleased. And for Thanquol to make up for his latest fiasco, he is ordered to tr...
Great readA great end to the second book of thanquols adventure! I know a good name... BoneRipper, that serves it purpose
The very first impression I got after finished reading this was "Wow, I think this is what they called minimum filler on the story". All of the pages was not wasted on something without use or purpose.All three point of view kept making me curious troughout the storyline. The human confusion when they're dragged to Lustria, the skaven humorous persuit for each of their own objective, and the slann curiosity to examine the variable of the whole event.One of my favourite part was Thanquol triumph
thanquol continues to be one of the most hilarious foils in warhammer. such a goober, everything he does backfires.
Another light jaunt with a comical character through the dark world of the warhammer universe. This one struck a better chord with me than the first. Again the story is split from the titles main character but it feels more appropriate and enjoyable than shoe horned in. While the novel does drag a bit the ending makes it all worthwhile. Also you have to applaud the author's descriptions. While obviously these books are built upon the tabletop game it is often difficult to visualize the character...
So-so fantasy novel, but fun to read one where the lead character is a snivelling, manipulative coward.
A lot of fun to read. I am now a fan of the Skaven.
Grey Seer Thanquol returns to the world that was, and is sent to Lustria by the Council of Thirteen to kill a Skink Priest / Prophet.A great story, with all the swashbuckling heroics, and under-world cowardice one would expect from a Warhammer / Thanquol story. Definitely one if like the Gotrek books, Skaven or just the World that Was... if you get over the grief of its destruction.Great to read more about the Skaven seer, and his brave/foolhardy/lucky/cowardly actions in Lustria.
Being the most powerful and most beloved of all the children of the Horned Rat Thanquol should probably have an easy life, right? Obviously not.Being sent to the steaming jungles of far away Lustria, where the life expectancy of Skaven are not very long would probably be bad enough. Being sent there, escorted by assassins, who probably want him dead doesn't make it any better. When powerful wizards plot his destruction as well it gets down right awful...Now add humongous serpents, cold blooded l...
