A mass of beast men in battle is no where near as threatening a one man against 3. That's what I like about Bernard Cromwell and joe Abercrombie they focus on one part of a larger battle.

But for the people who live in it, it's a matter of life and death, not just for themselves but for family and friends.<br /><br />The theme of ordinary humans standing up to petty and whimsical gods and the monsters that do their bidding is what made Warhammer stand out from other fantasy universes of the time, which focussed more on prophesied Chosen Ones to do all the work of defending ordinary people. It's something that has been lost from Warhammer in recent years, particularly with the coming of the abomination which is Age of Sigmar...Rivohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862803953863889027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-25825911228830682452015-12-23T08:01:38.709-08:002015-12-23T08:01:38.709-08:00For fantasy to feel 'real' it needs to mir...For fantasy to feel 'real' it needs to mirror real life as much as possible. Well, I think so anyway. As soon as the world in which the tale is told becomes unbelievable then I loose interest. A fine quote you draw out of the book too!Orlygghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01590080915486192175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-84547112196429411052015-12-23T08:00:09.902-08:002015-12-23T08:00:09.902-08:00You mention Storm Warriors there, and you want to ...You mention Storm Warriors there, and you want to know something? I have yet to read a copy? So even after all of this time, I still don't know how the trilogy ends. Not that I mind of course, as I was lucky enough to pick up a mint copy of the first edition not so long ago. It goes without saying that it will be the next book I read in my little Bookclub. <br /><br />I agree with you wholeheartedly about these early books being much more mature in their themes and deliveries. It was something I really appreciated as GW's future target audience in the late 1980s, and something I missed in later years.

My favorite passage in the book is "...all men should resolve that they will not tolerate any exercise of power which stifles or decreases hope." Mainly because it applies to real life as well as fantasy.Urion Franzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023583976215329492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-22967845416073402882015-12-21T10:38:08.309-08:002015-12-21T10:38:08.309-08:00This is a good read, it feels like a mature story,...This is a good read, it feels like a mature story, just like Zaragoz. Like Zaragoz and Storm Warriors it uses quite an obscure setting, the Border Princes and human or once human protagonists. Compare and contrast with pretty much any of ghastly childish bollocks that was the staple of the 90s output.Willlucvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506126186695125304noreply@blogger.com
