Received as an ARC from Netgalley:
DAMN do I love Guy Haley. His writing is always filled with such vibrant character and Arkanaut's Oath lived up to my admittedly high expectations going in.
This is the first full non-genre Age of Sigmar book I've read in full (read a Warhammer horror book last year) and I was a bit worried that maybe I'd be lost as I didn't really have a full understanding of the setting, luckily it is all laid out exceptionally well, and I wasn't lost at all.
Drekki Flynt is my favourite type of main character, a loveable scoundrel who when it comes down to it makes the right decisions, even though doing so it costs him.
This is yet another book I've read in a row that has a Dwarf proudly standing on a ship (just finished Pinquickle's Folly) but this time it's a ship that flies through the sky, not the ocean.
A really great adventure that gets five stars because it brings some really strong character work in the final act of the book.
Fantastic starting out point for Age of Sigmar as it deals with the more unsavoury elements of the world in a way that instantly made me want to know more.
