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.

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.

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.

I read the first two books and as soon as I finished the second one immediately ran out and got the next one. I tore through the 3 book in a night and a half thinking "man what a great series I cant wait to see what happens" and then thud...that ending rolled out and i spent the next 15 minutes looking for the pages that had fallen out of my book. I checked the bag the book came in, I checked my car to make sure they hadn't fallen out there. Nope no missing pages, that's just how it ended. Then I thought "maybe there's another book". Nope no continuation book either. Man what a horrible ending to a really fun series to read. Had I known that's how it was going to end I would not have bothered reading the first two books.

The first two books in the blood on the reik series were really well done intros to the Warhammer world through the eyes of a young man thrust into a career as an adventurer. The final book in the trilogy seems like an afterthought to tie up the loose ends from the first two books, rather than a climactic culmination of what the readers had been led to. While a clever idea closes the book, it's a clever idea that is 200 pages in the coming, with little else to praise in the book. I found the Gotrek and Felix books from the Warhammer series to be more consistent and enjoyable.
