Book Reviews of Hammer of Daemons (Warhammer 40,000 Novels)
Book Review: Warhammer: Hammer of Daemons
Summary: 4 Stars
Wonderful - unlike many of his counterparts in the Warhammer world - this author doesn't cheat you with a quick wrap of events - he takes you through the fight and into the melee itself. Does not disappoint.Book Review: A satisfying read
Summary: 4 Stars
A worthy third installment of a good series. I actually liked this one more than the second. If you enjoyed the other two, or are looking for a very visual WH40k set in the eye of terror, then buy this.Book Review: A very good book
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this third book in the Grey Knights series better than the first two books. It is well written with lots of action. I could not put it down.Book Review: Conan in the 40k universe
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed this book greatly, but if one changes the name of the planet to 'Stygia,' 'Space Marine' to 'Cimmerian,' and 'Alaric' to 'Conan' you get a pretty good book too. Ben Counter develops his Grey Knight hero greatly, but at the cost of developing the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The Chaos world setting is not particularly believable or original. The story does point to a very interesting future novel, however.Book Review: There's something lacking here ...
Summary: 2 Stars
I like warhammer books in general but some of them make me squirm uncomfortably. I read this one but it took some effort. It's not a really BAD book but it's not a good book either.
You can't just put spacemarines, daemons and the Inquisition into a cauldron and get Eisenhorn. You have to put in more effort. The plots aren't believable enough, the small details are lacking and the heroes are too one dimensional.
It saps the fun out of a book if the heroes keep winning just because of their superior modified genetics without even breaking a sweat. The villains should be more multi dimensional as well. In this book, I kept looking for the convoluted plots immortal daemons should be capable of and I got nothing.
My recommendations is to read Dan Abnet, Eisenhorn and Ravenor. After that, if you're really bored, read this book.
