Everybody Dies..., January 1, 2008
This review is from: Death's Legacy (Warhammer Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)
Okay, not quite everybody dies, still the ending is very dark. This book is the best of the series, not quite 4 stars but a solid 3 1/2.
This book picks up where Death's City leaves off. You really need to have read the first two books (Death's Messenger & Death's City).
The book relies a bit more on coincidence than the previous books (in those books much of what looks like coincidence, isn't), making is read like some role-play adventures.
Rudi does manage to grow a brain & figure out that that trusting some of his allies isn't the wisest idea. This is Warhammer - YOU CAN'T TRUST CHAOS. It may be too little, too late, but he does prove he has real character.
Unlike some other reviewers, the dark ending doesn't bother me. This is Warhammer, great victories should have great prices. This book also fully develops the basic Warhammer premise that the line between the good guys & the bad guys can be very fine.
This series (Death's Messenger, Death's City, Death's Legacy) is basically one novel chopped into three books. The various books do NOT stand alone. Treat this series as one novel & have all three on hand before you start.

Unexpected Ending, December 25, 2006
This review is from: Death's Legacy (Warhammer Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is much darker and gloomy than the previous two books in the trilogy, as befitting the Warhammer universe. I was never able to guess how the story would end, and was rather disturbed by the unexpected ending.

Dark and sinister, December 17, 2006
This review is from: Death's Legacy (Warhammer Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read the previous two books in this trilogy, and this one continues where they left off, in a land of chaos and turmoil. The ending of the book is probably what I liked best since it was so different from what I was expecting. It certainly fits into the "culture" of Warhammer though, there are shades to everything, there is a little good in evil, as there is a little evil in good.
I am probably going to read this author's other books since I read these three. I prefer the dark horror of the Warhammer world and hope that Sandy writes some more books in this area.
