Books like Elfslayer

Finally... I think Nathan Long "gets" the series at last. That or he's written enough for me to get used to his style. Either way, it was a tough transition from William King's original writing. The first couple by Long just didn't work for me for some reason. The characters weren't as enjoyable and the dialog seemed forced. And this was after I thoroughly enjoyed his "Black Hearts" series so I knew he could write (Please Mr. Long, don't forget about those guys... I'd love another book in that run). My only complaint with this one was the handling of the wizard Max. It had been several years (and novels) since he'd made an appearance, yet for some reason, he was fairly pathetic. His power was growing when we last saw him, yet in this book he seemed little changed. Teclis he's not, but still, I expected some fairly impressive spell casting by now. However, all we got were magic missiles and colored bolts. Other than this small complaint, the book was fast paced and filled with tons of carnage. As usual, the Slayer did what he does best... slew and slew some more. As usual, Felix tagged along for the ride and managed some good deeds as well. We got a few more hints dropped about that these two are “marked” for some dramatic battle (Like what they've done up to this point wasn't tough enough...) and are being kept alive through some magical means for a crazy climatic finish. I mean a greater daemon of Slaanesh bowed out of combat with Gotrek because something even more powerful had laid claim to the dwarf. How cool was that? What this great doom entails, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Not sure what's left for these two... Trolls, check, Giants, check, Dragons, check, Daemons, check, vampires, check, Orcs, check, Elves, check, Skaven, Check What is next? I'm trying to remember, but I don't think they've fought Lizardmen yet. It would be cool to see them head to Lustria to take on a some giant undead Slann... oh and for Sigmar's sake, please bring back Snorri Nosebiter.
