Gotrek and Felix: City of the Damned (Book Review)

As with the last book review this is posted in full on http://thefoundingfields.com/ and this is simply a preview. If you want to see it in full then please follow the link through to there.

Breaking away from the main ongoing saga, City of the Damned puts Gotrek and Felix in a very different place than usual. Traversing through Ostermark, the duo soon find themselves a new enemy for Gotrek to fight and a quest which pits them against the faith-bound inhabitants of the land. However, this familiar territory soon gives way to something much more sinister. Even without butting heads against the local fanatics, someone is desperate to ensure an old memory remains forgotten and the Empire's old wars are far from truly dead and buried. Something very old and infinitely malevolent lurks among the land, and it may take more than Gotrek's axe to thwart its ambitions...

As you might have guessed, this is a very atypical tale for the Gotrek and Felix series. While the series' semi-formulaic structure has never been detrimental to its originality or strength of story, this one seems to be breaking away to try something truly different.
