Vlčí jezdci by David Pringle
3.0
So I didn't know what to actually expect from this book. This was my first foray into the world of Warhammer and at the end of it all, I think it was ok.
This is a compilation of 8 stories that are not really related to one another in any way other then they are all happening in Warhammer world. I think the book is aimed at people who have played Warhammer games or painted the figures or have basic understanding of Warhammer. I didn't, but after looking through the map included with the book and reading the stories it really gives you a general idea what Warhammer is all about.
A pretty morbid fantasy world with a strange system of government and secular authorities acting on their own, with magic being very alive and well.
William King's "Wolf Riders" and Jack Yeovil's "No Gold in the Grey Mountains" definitely made the book for me. Those two stories made the book worth reading.
Other stories were mediocre at best.
Pulg's Grand Carnival doesn't even feel like a finished tale, just kind of just ends as if author couldn't think of how to continue.
Overall I feel 3 stars was what this book deserved, given 25% of it I enjoyed greatly, 50% was ok, and last 25% were a waste of time.
Wouldn't suggest reading unless you're into Warhammer or trying to get more lore about Warhammer. Personally, I'm interested to see more about the lore, so will probably read some more Warhammer books sometimes later in the year.
