Vampireslayer

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I picked up this book expecting Gotrek and Felix to hack and slash their way to hordes and hordes of ghouls and the undead. But instead, I got a book that has its first half focusing on the aftermath of the siege of Praag and its title characters seeing miniscule amount of action. I have no expectations of philosphical quandaries or moral dilemmas for this series. I want action, action, action and action. Sadly, there are few and far between and Gotrek is given little chances to plow through hordes of enemies. Heck, he didn't even get to face mano-a-mano the title villain.

Review: I think this book is really good. It is full of action and it kept me reading. It is very discriptive and not predictable. Keep in mind that this book is not for faint hearted people because it is pretty gory.

Review: King does it again! I have throughly enjoyed every book in this series and was again throughly pleased. He provides all you need from the gore, to the mystery, to the darkness that is warhammer. I have been reading fantasy for twenty years and the warhammer series is some of the best i've come across. No romance, boring dialogue, or feelings here--just blood and guts action--the way it should be.

Review: King needs to slow down. This book is not nearly as good as the others in the series. Fans of the series should find it tolerable, but disapointing. I think King is cranking out too many books, and has definitely entered hack territory.

Summary: William King at his best
Review: The sixth installment in King's Slayer series picks up almost immediately where the last Beastslayer left off. While the Massed Chaos horde still threatens the old world Gotrek and Felix must combat a more urgent threat A Vampire count and his undead minions. And sicnce this is a Warhammer novel that means lots of bloodshed and the profound lack of melodrama that lurks within most modern fantasy. Fast paced, bloody, and often time, blackly comedic this book is not to be missed

Summary: Slow going. Not enough Gotrek.
Review: This is the 6th book in the Felix & Gotrek series and the 6th one that I've read, but unfortunately it is also the first one I am giving less than a perfect 5-star rating to.

Briefly put, the story this time out seems very drawn out and not that interesting. Unlike the previous books in the series which I could not keep myself from reading page after page, at some points in this book I found it an effort to keep going.

Over half the book seems devoted to an overly lengthy account of the pursuit of the villain. Also, I am not sure exactly what the problem is, but King does not seem that comfortable writing the character of the Vampire, and the genres of Horror and Fantasy do not achieve a very satisfying blend in this book. The overall result ends up coming off as rather bland.

Gotrek doesn't get much action in this one, and there seems to be too much weight given to introspection, as the narrative moves from one character's inner thoughts to the next to the next without sufficient events or action in between to add a bit of colour and interest.

As a huge fan myself, I can only recommend this one to the really die-hard fans of this series who just can't get enough of Gotrek & Felix.
