Was this even a Gotrek book??

Gosh, where to begin so disappointing, I was really looking forward to the book, and it was poor on so many levels, how anyone can give this a 5 for story is mind blowing. The only thing that saved this book is the narrator. All the hard work fleshing Gotrek out in previous books was just thrown in the bin due to an argument with an elf!!! I felt the was a book the contained glimpses of Gotrek but did not feel like a Gotrek book... The female character story felt lacking in depth.

good story great Narrator but just feels like gotrek is a side character

I enjoyed the book but just feel the focus was very heavy on the new character Hellswarn and made Gotrek feel like a small side part which would of been fine if it wasn't a Gotrek book but overall I did like the new protagonist but a little confused what happened to the last one it's covered in about one line and not mentioned again.. still worthwhile

This isn't a gotrek book

Unfortunetly this doesn't continue from plague slayer, it basically ignors the setup and its as if all of gotreks development has been forgotten or reset. It's very plane and a little boring for Warhammer. The story revolvs around a new character who was very boring when compared to every other main character gotrek has met. Gotrek is in roughly 1/4 of the story and the skaven a little less. I cant recomend this story because it dosnt hold up when compared to any other AOS or Fantasy story. what a shame. HOWEVER the narrator is fantastic as always, too bad he didn't get a lot of gotrek or skaven dialogue...

start of a new campaign...

A really enjoyable listen interms of story and the narration is superb. it is true there is not a huge amount of gotrex at the start but that is similar to past novels such as skavenslayer which had he greater focus on the side kick Felix and the protagonists. This book feels like the start of another campaign with it covering some of the back ground of newer characters. So I really look to the next one.

A good story

compared to the other Gotrek books this one probably has the weakest Gotrek content but the story focus was more on other characters however I still think the story was good just possiy shouldn't have been a Gotrek book and instead should have been a story with Gotrek as a cameo.

Needs more Gotrek

We listen/read these books because of Gotrek, but this book has the smallest amount of Gotrek so far. It didn’t matter so much in the older books if we had sections without any Gotrek because Felix was such a well developed character, but in these more recent books we just seem to be getting less and less of the whole reason these books have the fans they have.

The ending to Verminslayer was utterly disappointing unfortunately, and it didn’t even really progress the story in this Age of Sigmar setting.

Jonathan Keeble does a fantastic job as always, and the actual detail in the book is enticing. The story was generally good, though as previously noted the ending wasn’t good - it feels like for some reason the previous book’s plot has been canned and we’re going in a new direction, and this book is just here to service that change.

featuring gotrek

its a story about a free Guild mercenary named Elsworn..... and sometimes gotrek is in it. verminslayer should be titled "Elsworn and the loose cannons, the rats, the city and sometimes (if it's important enough) gotrek

Not nearly as good a story as the ones before.

I’m a big fan of Gotreks entrance to Age of Sigmar and greatly enjoyed the books so far. This however made me lose interest and start wondering away in my thought on other things while listening. I can’t really say why but maybe the storytelling focuses a lot on describing places and people which takes a lot of time instead of happenings which are few between the dull moments.

The performance thou is flawless, as always by mr Keeble.

I hope the next book will be more like the earlier ones.

Good addition liked the new sidekick

Overall was a good story seemed a bit more remicient of the gotrek and Felix books, miss maleneth but the new character is better than amara.

Hopefully this goes somewhere, was enjoying the witchhunter previously hunting goteek. It feels like something is slowly coming together look forward to the next installment.

Enjoyed it a bunch!

Fun and campy story with some good pulp action.

Also really liked the new companion character's often frantic energy and how it bounced off with Gotrek brickwall of a demeanor, really hoping she sticks on for a long one!
And as always, Jonathan Keeble continues to be definitive voice for these stories. Absolutely stellar work.
