Coveted by the skaven, this magical rock could make the evil Nagash unstoppable...The Time of Legends series continues with the second book in the Rise of Nagash trilogy, an epic story of power and revenge for all lovers of dark fantasy and the World of Warhammer.
REVIEW:
Having had problems with the original and its almost scrappy jumping style I really wasn’t looking forward to this title, hence why in certain respects its taken me a while to get round to it. As with the other Legend’s series from the Black Library it has some great talent behind it with the author keeping to the established facts but with his own unique embellishments that really make this title stand out. Whilst the jumpy nature is still here, it can be forgiven slightly purely for the sheer scope that is available for the principle protagonist within. If you loved the Mummy films then this is definitely the Warhammer novel to get you established although personally speaking I think that the Sigmar series alongside the Gotrek and Felix titles take a hell of a lot of beating.
