With the world starting over, Bellarius gives his opinion on the first novel about the Age of Sigmar, where armies clash about The Gates of Azyr.
“Reasonable action, entertaining ideas, but hardly the best entery point into this new universe.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
After finishing the first installment of Chris Wraight’s ongoing Space Wolf series, Bellarius weighs the pros and cons of his follow-up with Stormcaller.
“While a definite step in the right direction for this series, Stormcaller fails to truly capture the fun of William King’s famed tomes or the monumental developments of Battle of the Fang.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
Getting back on track, Bellarius returns once more with a Black Library review, this time looking at Chris Wraight’s Blood of Asaheim.
“Buy any other Space Wolf novel.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
Returning to Scars one final time, Bellarius gives his thoughts on Chris Wraight’s novel as a whole.
“An ambitious story set on a grand scale, but lacking in focus and character.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, reviews the last installment in the serialized Scars novel by Chris Wraight, Episode 12, published by Black Library as part of their New York Times Bestselling multi-authored series The Horus Heresy.
“Chris Wraight manages to bring Scars to a confident conclusion that sees this novel as another very strong addition to the Horus Heresy – easily on par with the likes of the likes of what Aaron Dembski-Bowden and Dan Abnett have put out in the past. This is excellent stuff, despite a few lingering problems.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Getting around to Episode XII, Bellarius sees how the finale to Chris Wraight’s Scars resolves its events.
“Lots, of action, pacing and ideas, but very little closure.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
Covering the penultimate episodes leading to the story’s conclusion, Bellarius sees how well X and XI of Chris Wraight’s Scars holds up to scrutiny.
“With flaws and strengths aplenty, the build towards Scars’ conclusion proves to be just as chequered as the rest of the series.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, reviews the tenth and eleventh parts in the epic serialized novel Scars by Chris Wraight, published by Black Library as part of the New York Times Bestselling multi-authored Horus Heresy series. Expect Episode X to hit Black Library’s website this Wednesday. Episode XI is already available to buy online.
“As we see in the concluding chapters of Scars, everything is coming to a conclusion. We get some great scenes between multiple Primarchs and Chris Wraight proves that he can handle inter-Primarch conversations very well, which, among other things – helps make Scars easily on the same level as the recent, and brilliant The Unremembered Empire. In other words, this means that it’s not to be missed by any Horus Heresy fan.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Bane of Kings reviews the ninth Episode of the serialised Scars novel by Chris Wraight, published by Black Library as part of their multi-authored, New York Times Bestselling Horus Heresy series.
“Continuing the latest epic in the Horus Heresy series, Chris Wraight’s Scars moves towards its ending in what it proving out to be a very satisfying way – proving that no doubt when this book is finished, it will rank easily up there among the best of the Horus Heresy novels thus so far, which makes the book a welcoming treat for veteran Horus Heresy fans. You won’t want to miss out.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
With Scars IX available for sale, Bellarius takes another look to see how Chris Wraight’s story continues to develop.
