Hallowed Knights: Plague Garden Review

So, first of all with Hallowed Knights: Plague Garden, although this is a standalone novel, it would help to read some of the previous novels involving the Hallowed Knights tom the Realm Gate Wars series. These include War Storm, Ghal Maraz and Wardens of the Everqueen. This story picks right up where these finish. 

Hallowed Knights: Plague Garden really does have a little bit for everyone. The first third of the story is pretty much one huge assault the Hallowed Knights are carrying out against one of the last Nurgle strongholds in Ghyran. This shows great insight into the Stormcasts tactics in some very good battles scenes. 

Aside from all the fighting, there are some excellent character development. These include a scene with Sigmar himself addressing some of his Stormcasts, we are introduced to some new female Stormcasts, which I feel was an excellent move by Games Workshop as it really adds a new dimension to the Stormcasts. We also get to follow Tornus as he is forced to battle his former kin, and also return to the Garden of Nurgle, which I found very interesting and well written. And lastly, there are numerous intriguing Nurgle characters to delve into. 

So, overall, I feel this book certainly is a must read for not only Stormcast and Nurgle fans, but also anyone interested to see what happens next on the Realm of Life. 

Please comment below your thoughts on the Novel and also if you would like me to go into more detail in the actual story. If there are any other novels or short stores you would like us to review, then pleases comment below also.

Overlords of the Iron Dragon

Hi all. 

So I decided to have a look on the Black Library website and I noticed that there is a new Warhammer Age of Sigmar book that is due to be released in November. 

As you can see, and tell by the title, Overlords of the Iron Dragon will be the first novel including the Kharadron Overlords. This does not really surprise me as they have done novels for most of the other factions in the Legends of the Age of Sigmar series. 

As for the plot, it seems to be about a captain called Brokrin Ullissonn who is going on a mining expedition for some aether-gold. Pretty standard stuff really, which I must admit does not buzz me much. I will however give it a read when it comes out and hopefully do a review for you guys/girls on here as soon as I'm finished. 

Let me know what you think in the comments below. 

Take care all :-)

P.s I am making my way through Plague Garden at the moment, so look out for a review on here soon. 

Eight Lamentations: Spear of Shadows

Hi all

As some of you may have already noticed, the next Age of Sigmar is not on the Black Library website, to be released in September.

 

I am really looking forward to reading if this one, as it will be the first real look into what the mortals are doing. 

This will be the first instalment of a trilogy called the Eight Lamentations. We are led to believe that the story will involve a quest to find the Lamentations by a rag tag group mixed up of humans, aelfs and duardin. So this should come up with some interesting social encounters. 

I have pre ordered Plague Garden, which is due to be available from the 17th June. I will be aiming to power through it and putting a review on our blog, so please look out for that.

Thank you and take care :-)
