Witch Finder -5 Stars isn't enough!,
By Jean Claude de La Ronde (Chateauguay, Quebec, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Witch Hunter (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the second Warhammer book that I have read and I have to say that if you are looking for Horror, Mystery, Action, Great Characters with serious Attitudes this book is it !. It's a joy ride from the moment you look at the cover all the way through to the back cover...It really made me crave all the pages and I even reread some of the chapters because It was too damn good. I can't wait to read the sequel; Witch Finder. C.L Werner really nailed the atmosphere of the Warhammer ambiance and attitudes of the characters. If you have played the RPG before you will immediately recognize the magic of those games in that novel. I HIGHLY reccomend this book either you are a fan or not of the rpg game...READ THE BOOK ! Thank you for reading.

Solomon Kane in Middle Earth...,
By B. Delong "outlawsgun" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Witch Hunter (Mass Market Paperback)
This was only the second Warhammer book that I've read, but without a doubt it is one of the best dark fantasy stories that I've seen. Werner did a amazing job bringing his characters to life. He provided the reader an indepth look at their personal motivations and private thoughts. The story's setting had a beautifully detailed Gothic and Germanic feel. This wonderfully set the stage for his horrific creatures and slightly fanatical hero. Mathias Thulmann, the protagonist, is a determined and devoted Knight Templar in the guise of a witch hunter. I was most amused with the Witch Hunters sadistic thug of a partner, Streng. In all, if you are remotely interested in horror or fantasy then this is a must read. I would also recommend Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane stories, which have recently been republished. Howard is best known as the creator of the legendary Conan.

Page Turning Adventure,
By Sean B. Schoonmaker - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Witch Hunter (Mass Market Paperback)
I was pleasantly suprised by M. Werner's skills, keeping the reader interested and engaged in both characters and plot throughout.The characters have more depth than one might expect from their almost comic-book stereotypes, and the pacing and plot keep you wanting to finish just one more chapter before putting it down. One minor weakness is the villians of the tale, who don't seem to receive enough attention to really bring them to life. They're made disturbing more from shock value than a genuine "creepiness." Overall, I'd say that M. Werner is one of the top three in Black Library's stable. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

Accurate portrayal of warhammer fantasy,
By Keius - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Witch Hunter (Mass Market Paperback)
The novel itself has many strengths and few weaknesses.The story flows very smoothly and has a decent plot but it's greatest strength is in the character details. Witch Hunter reflects well on the different perspectives and views of the main antagonists and protagonists. Motives are explained well and allows the reader to really get into the minds of the characters. The author also manages to convey a very real sense of grim desperation about many of the characters in the novel. This allows for a feel of the warhammer fantasy world that i have expected but not seen realized in other warhammer fiction. The only weakness as i saw it was that the author may have spent too long building the mystery and suspense. I found myself nodding off during the first half of the novel. It was well written but tended to get a bit boring during the first half. Once i reached the second half, it was a straight reading session til the end of the novel. I felt that certain segments could have been shortened, thus the 4 stars and not 5. |
