About this listen

A Gotrek Gurnisson Audiobook

Greywater Fastness – an industrial canker in the heart of Ghyran. Foundries and metalworks pump soot and fire endlessly into the skies of the Realm of Life. Dusty streets hide peril at every turn, and attacks by the Dreadwood Sylvaneth hamper the city’s relentless encroachment.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Gotrek takes on some of his earliest enemies again – the scheming skaven! It may be a different time, and a different world, but the legendary Slayer hasn't lost his knack for dealing with vermin.

THE STORY

Gotrek Gurnisson barges into Greywater Fastness seeking answers as to why his Fyreslayer rune is mysteriously waning. But finding them in the stronghold's clogged and blackened arteries may prove far more difficult than first thought, and with skaven warlocks building something deep underground – something that will cement their place in skavendom forever – Gotrek begins to wonder if he might instead find that which has eluded him these past ages – his doom.

Great Gotrek story with some of the bestest Skaven villains. Nearly made me want to start another new army.

One of the best Gotrek books in ages

I enjoyed the book but just feel the focus was very heavy on the new character Hellswarn and made Gotrek feel like a small side part which would of been fine if it wasn't a Gotrek book but overall I did like the new protagonist but a little confused what happened to the last one it's covered in about one line and not mentioned again.. still worthwhile

good story great Narrator but just feels like gotrek is a side character

The female lead is by far the main interest of the author over the actual title character here, there's barely any depth given to Gotrek's normally detailed combat whilst everything around Elsworn given much more attention whilst Gotrek just stomps in to annoy her - at least with Felix and Malaneth, they had a reason to follow Gotrek that would ensure they'd be close to him at all times, but Elsworn just has her wounded pride from Gotrek stealing her kill to tie her to him as he pops in and out of the plot when it's convenient until she's glued to him in the final act.

The whole reason Gotrek is even in Greywater Fastness is only a passing mention halfway through the story rather than being a primary plot point that he's actively trying to resolve from the start, it just feels like he's just been tacked onto someone else's tale to sell the book; the tale's saving grace are the Skaven Warlock-Engineer twins, mostly because Skaven always provide a good chuckle with their hijinks.

Johnathan Keeble is still my favourite narrator, but some of the cuts between paragraphs sounded like lines were done in a different studio or with different equipment after the fact, which is a little awkward.

It's a fine story, but definitely not one I'd call "a Gotrek Gurnisson novel" by comparison to Blightslayer before it, you wouldn't be missing much if you skipped this one.

Average AoS story, just not a Gotrek story

Gotrek got reduced to a side character in his own series. i hope this won't be the general direction of the next books

not enough Gotrek

Gosh, where to begin so disappointing, I was really looking forward to the book, and it was poor on so many levels, how anyone can give this a 5 for story is mind blowing. The only thing that saved this book is the narrator. All the hard work fleshing Gotrek out in previous books was just thrown in the bin due to an argument with an elf!!! I felt the was a book the contained glimpses of Gotrek but did not feel like a Gotrek book... The female character story felt lacking in depth.

Was this even a Gotrek book??
