It was the best Black library book I have ever read. Now that doesn't mean it is the best book I ever read there are better. But it does fall to the same pitfalls of all Black library books of repeating the same words for the same kinds of situations. Patrician is used constantly with such lines as "the but of the blade hit him in his patrician nose." or "his patrician features" or "her patrician features." But this book is still a great read starts with what would technically be a crime against humanity and continues from there. Also much like every black library book too much detail on the gore. But unlike the ones set in the glorious Empire it makes more sense as Druchii are a brutal unforgiving people. Also some of the book takes place beyond the watchtowers so even more brutality which makes sense.
This is the first book in a series that will chronicle the rise of the best current druchii special character. Who even for his own kind he is cruel beyond measure. Unfortunately if you read the Dark Elf Armybook you already know the basics so this just gives it more detail. It was also a better read than the graphic novels Darkblade. I read this book before I started playing Dark Elves by the way and even then I thought it was better than any of the other Black library books I had ever written. Personally I cannot wait for the next one.
