City of the Damned

Gotrek and Felix, Book 14

By: David Guymer

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

A Gotrek & Felix Audiobook

Five centuries ago, a great city of the Empire was destroyed by a comet and became a haunted nightmare called the City of the Damned. Though it is long gone, its legacy remains, and through dark magic, Gotrek and Felix are about to experience the horrors it holds.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's a gripping tale featuring events and supernatural elements that will haunt the Slayer and his companion in the future, even as they explore the past.

THE STORY

Long have the City of the Damned's fallen towers remained undisturbed by the people of Ostermark, but now an ancient evil stirs in the depths, gathering its strength once more.

Gotrek and Felix are swept up in the crusade of Baron Gratz von Kuber to cleanse the city, and as the ruins are torn from the passage of time itself, the Slayer's doom appears to be approaching more quickly than either of them would like.

at least it isn't age of sigmar

I feel like the author didn't read any of the previous books. You see this more often in comic books, but warhammer is just as guilty of it. Felt like after all the main characters had done and seen in previous books, a crappy mercenary captain shouldn't be a significant threat.

Narration as usual, is amazing

Overall I enjoyed the story, The story takes awhile to come together and the confusion on the readers part is supposed to happen.

A blur of a city

The opening and first half of the book is great. I got a little spun around towards the end with how familiar everything became. Also Gotrek misidentifying a beast was a head scratcher but he does have one eye. Keeble is incredible !

Confusing and meandering

Not enough Gotrek and Felix interactions, pacing too full of battles, villains and side characters take up a lot of time while not being enjoyable. Jonathan Keeble continues to be fantastic.

Great Atmosphere for October

A close friend of mine was listening to this book when he got in a car wreck where his airbags didn't deploy, no one got hurt and he walked away unscathed, Gotrek's luck (or unluck in Gotrek's case) seems to have rubbed off on him.

Great book too btw!
