  • So… This is the end of a whole era! This book ‘closes a circle’ of 14 books from the series, 19 books in total and many short stories/novellas spanned in a period of 27 years! An enormous task that was placed upon the shoulders of David Guymer. The first thing is the title: so clever! The book received generally positive reception and I think we must admit that Gotrek’s Doom was a worthy doom indeed! And of course an innovative one! Felix’s also! Another good thing is that most of the plotlines of the series close in a way accepted by most of the fans and worthy of the series. Even though it was a very hard task to carry out Black Library & David Guymer had succeed!
