The Chronicles of Malus Darkblade: Volume Two (Warhammer Chronicles) Paperback – May 24, 2022

Phenomenal book, but not for everyone. I picked up the first book in the series and couldn't put it down. It is incredibly written, fast paced, and the characters are well developed. With that said, this is a dark, violent, gorry, and disturbing book. The black elves are the most base and violent characters in fantasy and their bloody lifestyles surprised and shocked me. Don't let that detere you from checking out this whole series. I was totally enthralled with the story line and wish the authors would continue the adventures of the main character. Just be aware that some of the scenes might be considered disturbing. It is a fantastic read and I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes that kind of fantasy.

Great book. Following the authors.

More dark elf goodness. I love the Warhammer dark elves. They are wickedly cruel and hate-filled. My cup of tea.The 2nd half of the book feels somewhat hurried, however it did not diminish the fact that I loved this book. If you liked Volume 1, you will enjoy volume 2.

I was struggling to describe what was so hilarious about Malus Darkblade to a friend of mine. Calling Malus paranoid, violent, belligerent, cruel and ruthless really don't capture him. Then it finally hit me. He's Invader Zim with an MA rating and a fantasy setting.So yes, Malus starts off as a delightfully cruel sociopath. The very model of dark elf society. And he has some incredible schemes. One of the best parts of these novels are the mad schemes that fail, go to plan B, that fails too, onto plan C. And so on, and so forth until by some stubborn miracle Malus wins out. Sort of. Maybe not.Along the way you meet some fantastic characters and Malus slowly begins to grow, mature, and realize his actions have consequences. In some ways, that sort of ruins the delightful sociopath he used to be. In other ways, it makes him a more relate-able character. I suppose that is just the trade off that must be made when dealing with a character as far out there as Malus.The only downside to these novels? They are depressing. Horrifically so. Through at least 2/3rds of the narrative Malus is being beaten, tortured, abused, chased, hunted and conspired against. Which feeds into the double edged sword of making him relate-able. When he was this crazy alien creature, it was hilarious to watch these things happen. As he became more and more of a real person, with depth and feelings, you actually start to get worn out watching him suffer.All in all though, I really enjoyed this view of the warhammer world. Seeing things from the Dark Elf perspective was certainly interesting and does a lot to flesh out the Warhammer fiction.

Awesome book can't wait till they resume writing about Malus Darkblade and his cold one spite great battles vivid writing up there with the legend of drizzt by R.A Salvator and War of the spider queen even if don't know anything about warhammer game these omnibuses are a great buy for hours of entertainment

Malus Darkblade is the ultimate anti-hero, the epitome of ruthlessness. By far my favorite elf character (and I don't like elves at all). Hope that Mike Lee can write up the rest of Malus's story to fill in the gaps of how he got Tz'arkan trapped within him again. Good read the whole way through.

I love these books. Talk about something different. Now if only they would put them all on kindle I would be really happy. I have read fantasy for many, many years and I really like Glen Cook and his Black Company and Dan Abnett has taken the dark fantasy to a new fantastic level. Try them - they are addictive. Read one you have to read them all. Please get them on Kindle.

Everything there, it's a book

begin las heerlijk weg jammer genoeg leek het laatste deel van het boek afgeranselt en halverwege krijg je een time-skip waar een gigantisch leuk verhaal lijkt weg geknipt zodat ze geen derde boek hoefden te doen

Purchased as a christmas present, owner pleased , good fantasy reading. fast delivery. good packaging. Would reccomend to others.

Really didn't like the way they ended it. Having read it 10 years after publication I know that more did not come.

Its good to get back into some Darkblade, but the print seems flawed, the text is fine, but the maps and chapter lines seem heavily pixelated, as if the printer needed fine tuning or something.It detracts little from the quality of the writing itself, but it is very annoying having something so blazingly obviously wrong in something I've waited so long for.
