Assessment Of Books Botschafter der Schlacht (The Ambassador Chronicles #1)

The writing is adequate in a story with a very average plot. The characters don't really have any room for development but they are pleasant enough, and the story moves along fine in a quite dated fashion. Not disappointed to have read it but hope the sequel is better.

The book is an interesting combination of murder mystery, traditional Warhammer (constant threat of a war that could end a nation or two) and Imperial-Kislevian politics. I found nothing wrong with the book but in the same time, I felt that the author failed to get all out of the great premise. I hope that the second book is able to improve on this.

Enjoyable read and must-read for WFRP GM's wanting to create better Kislevian/Empire politics background. Something more about the book itself? The plot is a bit naive, but well, entier Warhammer Fantasy plot sometimes is naive so, for me, that's just part of the world. The Ambassador, Kaspar von Velten has been sent to Kislev as Ambassador (:D) representing Empire on Kislev court, and He must do it better than good, as War Is Coming. You can find mystery, magic, war, murder, duels, and Chaos

A couple of years ago I tried reading some Warhammer short stories. At the time I concluded that Graham McNeill was the best of the writers that I sampled. Well, having now read a full novel, the jury's very much out.The first half of this novel was a struggle as I waded through half-baked text that could have been put together by a twelve-year-old. After that, things improved significantly and I was pulled in despite myself. I actually cared and wanted to know what was happening. Did the prose

Reliable BL grim fantasy fiction but not quite the stoy I was hoping for, and I am not sure if I feel like bothering to obtain the sequel.

Hailing from Scotland, Graham McNeill narrowly escaped a career in surveying to work for Games Workshop as a games designer. He has a strong following with his novels Nightbringer, Warriors of Ultramar, Dead Sky, Black Sun and Storm of Iron.
