Soul Wars

Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Book 1

By: Josh Reynolds

Narrated by: Andrew Wincott

It is said that all who live belong ultimately to the Undying King. In the shadowy lands of Shyish, Nagash, God of Death, calls forth his soulless legions to reassert his dominion. His dread advance begins with the free city of Glymmsforge, bastion of Azyr in the Realm of Death.

Standing between Nagash and his prize are the brooding Anvils of the Heldenhammer, an ancient host of Stormcast Eternals, and Lord-Castellant Pharus Thaum, guardian of the Ten Thousand Tombs.

As battles between the living and the dead rage throughout the Mortal Realms, the War of Heaven and Death begins anew. But even Sigmar’s chosen may not be enough to cease the onslaught. For how does one destroy what is already dead?

8.8/10 Reynolds Delivers as Always

Pretty good stuff for the AoS - verse. The protagonist makes for a fantastic story. Great stuff. Best of all, we barely had to listen to any Nagash dialogue in this book.

Wonderful book

Absolutely loved this book! Really made me want to get into Slaves to Darkness and Stormcast Eternal. This coming from a Khorne player.

loved it.

Loved it so much!!!! Can't wait for the next one and to play a game!!

A stark telling of life in the Realm of Death

A story if a great war from many different view points. Does everyone need to slam the ferrule of their staff on the ground every chapter though.

Good Story, Great Characters

Yeah, Nagash is a bit of a bore, but that's the only minor criticism that I could throw at the book. I do think that is a bit on purpose though, as he is meant to be a foil to Sigmar.

I am continually impressed at the caliber of writing within the Age of Sigmar, Black Library. If you are interested in how the story is progressing, and (if like me) you are interested in seeing what Stormcasts are like as people (not quite humans), then this is a definite read.

The main story arc is entertaining and has its twists and turns and surprisingly good character development. What is even more interesting is that even the minor characters have well written and portrayed threads throughout the novel.

Good read, great characters. Highly recommend.
