5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and necessary sequel to Konrad, April 27, 2002

This review is from: Shadowbreed (Warhammer) (Mass Market Paperback)

Shadowbreed picks up right where Konrad leaves off, and continues the story. This book is a more solid novel, it is faster paced, has more action, and answers a few questions from the first. If you like Konrad than this is a must read. The only flaw is the fact that once again David Ferring just lets the ending drop...and that is unbelievably frustrating.

This review is from: Shadowbreed (Warhammer) (Mass Market Paperback)

I am really enjoying reading the Konrad Saga, the books are truly engaging. I am not going to lay saying these are the best reading I've ever had, but definitely are worth it if you like the genre. So far, Konrad saga is a lot about destiny and fate (I've not read the 3rd book yet), may be a bit too much, but this is what it is about. Sometimes I also feel the books are a bit repetitive about the past in a way that leads to upcoming events and sometimes kill the surprise. Some other times, truly surprising and amazing developments and do happen. Sometimes big blanks are not filled in (maybe later?)... Wait for my 3rd book review and I'll give you more info... So far, so good. Start reading.

3.0 out of 5 stars Classic Saga Continues..., January 30, 2008

This review is from: Shadowbreed (Warhammer) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the second book in the classic Konrad trilogy. This book is classic Warhammer in the sense it was originally published in the 80s.

This book picks up where Konrad left of (actually it repeats the last chapter of Konrad). The plot continues Konrad's search for answers (of which he finds very few).

This novel has many of the same flaws as Konrad. The disconnect between the world presented in this book and the current Warhammer setting is even more apparent than in first book. As a reader familiar with the more modern Warhammer setting, I was sometimes wondering how Konrad managed to survive.

Konrad feels a bit more like an actor in events rather than entirely being sweep along, but the plot still has a heavily...scripted feel. It is as if the events are set and Konrad's actions have little real effect on them.

The book is faster paced and has more action than the first book which helps conceal its flaws.

The ending is terrible, not even a hint of a real conclusion. Once again, the author simply gets to the end of scene and stops. It is a terrible stopping place to boot.
