It's my first Gotrek book and that is saying something.
It says that I have no idea who the character is and starting after more than 10 books have been released already, may seem like a big mistake.
But to be honest, it's the first book (audio drama) in the new Gotrek series in the universe of Age of Sigmar, so naturally, I thought, why, it must be a good starting point.
The verdict is... drum rolls... it was a mistake. Many characters from Gotrek's previous series are mentioned and even the best moments revolve around recollection. I could sense that some particular event or conversation was very touching and yet I couldn't feel it because I had no idea why should I care about a particular character only mentioned in passing. So, this is probably a good novel (audio drama) for fans of the Old World's Gotrek, not for newcomers.
The rest of the novel (audio drama) was pretty good but you need a good knowledge of Age of Sigmar who is who and what's the deal with them. Truth be told, the only reason to listen to this one is the fantastic voice acting, though it can get pretty hectic during battle scenes.
