Summary: A warhammer fan
Comment: This was a great book though many would consider it a rip off of the Gortek and Felix series. Quite the contrary as a matter of fact. Though I enjoyed reading this book ,as I seem to with all Warhammer Books, this book seemed a little to rushed in some spots and in others way to slow. The end ,to me, made the whole book worth while. Though it is somewhat not believable that a small group takes on hundreds of one of the most feared bands of mercenaries in the whole warhammer world. This book explores more of the life of Elves, finally they write a novel about elves, and their dying race in the warhammer world. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a fairly entertaining novel.

Summary: Gilead, Right on!
Comment: Gilead's blood was the first black library book I read and I absolutely loved it. The emotion and character relation between the characters is outstanding. If there was anything I didn't like about the book it was the dreaded short-story format black library is famous for writing.

Summary: a good portrayel of elves
Comment: Well i have to agree with most of the other reviews on this book. The last adventure really was extremely unoriginal, and not really all that interesting a premise to begin with. However being someone who is very interested in the personality of elves and how they fit into the world, i found this a very good portrayal of them. Throughout the book abnett manages to create a race very obviously not human, and not motivated by human desires or emotions, but at the same time understandable to us, and diverse in personality. He also excellently portrays gilead's despair at the fall of his house, and of the elves in general. And his bitterness at this new world inhabited by an inferior species, humans. I found the theme of his desperate searchfor some sign of the elven past intriguing, and his fate tragic. Overall i thought it was a much darker and interesting story than the Gotrek and Felix series, despite not having all the interesting plot twists that the other has. Although i tend to be more intruigued by the ideas behind stories than the stories themselves, I would reccomend buying it.
