As a Warhammer book, is really great. The End Times are closer and closer and it gets grimmer, building up events for the Chaos forces to go South. As a Gotrek and Felix book is very good but somewhat felt a little weird, but not that much as City of the Damned.
For Felix, the feeling I got was that on the City of the Damned he was just a weakling scared human, this time around he is as badass as Gotrek with just the same endurance. Gotrek character has gotten darker and never look up for a Doom so much or shout/complain about it, but I guess is quite normal after 1 year roaming Kislev with beastman or worse as the peak of social interaction.
I fell pity for Snorri during all of the book.
The jumps during the story, even numerous, were more palatable than with the last book. I was aware that there will be a lot of those and in this time I got the feeling of a more cinematic feeling with the jumps.
Combat was greatly detailed, fast, furious, dangerous and very enjoyable.

The longest-running series of Warhammer novels by far, the Gotrek and Felix series reaches novel number sixteen with David Guymer’s Kinslayer, book one of The Doom of Gotrek Gurnisson. Returning to the ‘nounslayer’ style books and set a year after Nathan Long’s Zombieslayer, we see Felix dragged from a quiet life in Altdorf by the appearance of the vampire Ulrika to help rescue the wizard Max Schreiber, who has been kidnapped by the Troll King and imprisoned in the enemy-held city of Praag. With his loyalties torn between helping Max and being with his frail wife Kat, and still struggling to deal with his feelings for Ulrika, Felix finds himself back in his old life of adventuring once again, and soon reunites with more familiar faces than just Ulrika.
