Nagash the Unbroken
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ben
Way to short for my liking, but the books continue to confirm in my mind that Nagash is the most evil and sinister character in either of the 2 black library universes.
Dance macabre
Rated 5 out of 5 by Entomophobie
While Nagash rebuild his strength in the Wasteland around a new found source of power, in the city of Lahmia, Neferata scheme to cement the power of The City of the Dawn after the fall of the Blessed Land. Meanwhile, she pursuit her own research, set after Nagash, towards immortality. Later, this will give birth to the first Vampire Bloodlines, nothing less. Who could beat in darkness the amazing series of Malus Darkblade than Mike Lee himself? If you did enjoy the sinister tale of the infamous Dark Elf, you will love Nagash the Unbroken as well.
Should have been called "Genesis of the Vampires"
Rated 3 out of 5 by Stevie
This is a good book although, like Ben above, I feel it was too short. It was well written and full of dark atmosphere however in my opinion, for a story based on Nagash, this spent a little too much time on Neferata and her story and failed to build on the excellent characterisation of Nagash Lee developed in his first book. Without spoiling, there were also a few deviations from, the well established warhammer lore which irritated me a bit but overall this is good, its just very much a bridging novel - looking forward to the conclusion in "Nagash Immortal".
Very Strong Sequel
Rated 4 out of 5 by Adam
I loved the first book, and this book is good, but not as good as the first book. Don't get me wrong however, because this book is totally worth it. Nagash is just as much of an evil git as the first book, but this book manages to make him so wretched that you can't help but feel sorry for the guy. As I mentioned in my review of the first book, I loved Arkhan the Black, and his storyline was great. Strangely enough, Arkhan softens in this book and, of all people, gets the most heartwarming moments in the book (in my opinion). Lacks the epic war background of the first book, but still great.
