Summary
A Gotrek novel
Gotrek Gurnisson, last survivor of the world-that-was, seeks the Undying King himself amidst the bleak underworlds of Shyish. Surrounded by the ghosts of the past, can Gotrek achieve his goal, or will his soul be forfeit?
Listen to it because:
It's Gotrek's first full-length novel in the Mortal Realms, and it pits him against all the horrors of the Realm of Death, as he seeks almighty Nagash!
The story:
In the bleak, haunted underworld of Shyish, a vengeful Slayer seeks the Lord of Undeath.
Gotrek Gurnisson returns, his oaths now ashes alongside the world-that-was, his fury undiminished. Branded with the Master Rune of Grimnir, the God that betrayed him, and joined by Maleneth Witchblade, a former Daughter of Khaine turned agent of the Order of Azyr, the hunt has taken them far and wide through the Realm of Death. Will Gotrek find a path to the Undying King or will the underworlds claim him as their own?

Great listen
Enjoyed it, great acting but wish Brian Blessed carried on his part as Gotrek Gurnisson.

Another amazing Warhammer book!
In a very brief summary this is an amazing book narrated by an excellent man, who makes it so easy to follow and be invested in the characters in this story. 10/10 would reccomand and I will be getting more books of the doomslayer now!

Highly recommended
A marvellous story featuring my favourite Warhammer character read as always by, not only my favourite Warhammer narrator but, my favourite Audible narrator.

A return to the good Gotrek novels
Darius Hinks has done an admirable job of capturing some of the appeal of the original Gotrek and Felix novels by William King. Definitely worth a listen, especially as Jonathan Keeble narrates. A better Gotrek than Brian Blessed!
My only complaint is that portions of the book feel a bit disjointed if you’re not super familiar with the AoS world, whereas the old novels did a good job
of not needing much prerequisite knowledge

Good fun, but didn't quite hit the sweet spot
As ever, if I see something with Gotrek's name on it, I have to dive in as he is one of my favourite characters the Black Library have ever produced. I also have a very iffy relationship with the Age of Sigmar (I'll never truly like it and will always see it as the crappy actor that replaced your favourite actor for the same character in between seasons of your favourite TV show) but thought maybe a Gotrek novel would be what I needed to get me a little closer to the setting.
Although it was by no means my favourite Gotrek novel, it was certainly enjoyable. I love the fact that Gotrek shares my dislike for the Age of Sigmar setting as he frequently calls things by the names they were known as in The Old World rather than the silly names they are known by now.
His quest for vengeance upon the gods sets him on the trail of The Great Necromancer, the god of the dead, Nagash. His single-minded hunting of the gods is enjoyable and, when paired with his gruff, brutish character it works incredibly well.
The partnership with Maleneth Witchblade is by no means as satisfying as the partnership with Felix, but his comradery with the Stormcast Eternal they are with is an enjoyable one. I didn't hate Maleneth but I just couldn't get into her as much as I did Felix. That's the problem when a character has shoes that are far too big to be filled by those that come after him. I'm not sure what it is, whether it's the characters, the setting or some mixture of the two, but there was something that just rubbed me slightly the wrong way and left it feeling less like a Gotrek novel and more of a novel that Gotrek appeared in. Whatever the reason, I just couldn't bring myself to give it the full five stars.
I'd not recommend this to anyone who isn't familiar with Gotrek. My advice would be to pick up the books set in the Old World before trying to enjoy these. You may not enjoy them as much, but you'll certainly have an easier time of it. You also can't really get a sense of what Gotrek has lost by starting here.
The voice acting was, as is always the case with Jonathan Keeble, wonderful. I am thrilled to see that he seems to be the voice actor they want to use for Gotrek going forward as he suits the character perfectly. This is my third book narrated by Keeble, the 2nd in the Warhammer universes, and it will certainly not be my last.

another awesome installment.
Jonathan does a tremendous job of setting the tone and bringing the characters to life as always and the story was fantastic.
