Book Reviews of Eldar Prophecy (Warhammer 40,000 Novels)
Book Review: crossover triumph
Summary: 5 Stars
In general, I like Goto's writing. I have enjoyed several of his books before. Eldar Prophecy is special; it stands out from his other books and from the rest of the BL collection. The reason is this: it stands on its own as a sci-fi novel, without needing the support of background 40K knowledge. Goto has drawn an elaborate and sophisticated picture of the eldar in this novel, complete with a long an detailed appendix that makes the book self-sufficient.
Even if you know nothing about 40K, you will find this an elegant and fascinating sci-fi novel about an alien civilization. If you are already familar with 40K, you will find that Goto brings order to the confusing eldar background and brings craftworld Kaelor to life.
The characters in this book are well-developed and nuanced. The eldar are haughty, sly, overly emotional, struggling with their own natures and their ancient demons - they are alien without being incomprehensible.
There is an epic tone to the narrative that makes Eldar Prophecy read like a classical cycle, a snippet of a grand folklore.
Of course, all of this means that it is not an easy read, and many 40K fans will find it hard, I think, especially if they're really looking for simple blood and war. Here there is intrigue and a detailed plot that requires some concentration.
If you want something grand, immersive and unusual from the Black Library, then this is for you.
Summary of Eldar Prophecy (Warhammer 40,000 Novels)
Isolated and alone, the eldar craftworld Kaelor floats through the dark reaches of space. Exacting vengeance on those who brought low his ancestors, a youthful eldar warrior wreaks destruction across the craftworld - but can the prophecy that drives him be trusted, or are darker forces at work?War Books
