The sequel to Blood of Asaheim.

I like Wraight's writing, I really do, but the way he mangled long standing SW fluff in BoA has not sat well with me, so I don't know if I'll bother with this. It came across like he hadn't even gone as far as reading the codex by way of research.

Well he still did absolutely awesomely with Battle for the Fang.

I just finished Stormcaller. It was a superb read, winding up from the aftermath of the first book and blasting into action as the pack grows stronger and tighter.

And theres lots of powerful psyker action. Njal Stormcaller is elemental fury personified.

But by the end, the plot took a very suprising, unexpected twist that have me eager for the third book in the series. I sure did not see -THAT- comming!


I rate Stormcaller to be significantly better than Blood of Asaheim, it felt much like his work with Battle of the Fang.

:angry:

I'm SOOO hoping you're not leading me on! I bought it, but might not get to it for a week or so. But maybe I'll put Olaf Stapledon's Last and First Men on hold...

Believe me when I say Njal shows wickedly potent acts of psykery. I daresay he is the most flashy imperial psyker so far with his sublime elemental control.

Regarding Cardinals in general.

Its my impression that the political side of the Ecclesiarchy is absolutely and totally cuthroat, a dog eat dog world. That you have to be a Saint in order to retain anything looking like idealism and high morals when you enter the ranks of the Cardinals. A post of such supreme influence over humanity, the sheer power of it unbeliveable. Is it that much of a wonder that Cardinals more often than not, go bad and rotten and eventually stepping over the brink? Look at Goge Vandire or Bucharis. It pretty much takes a saint to stay pure in that role, but the Imperium does have them. Like Sebastian Thor.
