Publisher's summary

A Warhammer Age of Sigmar Novel

Excelsis, City of Secrets, stands proud in the Realm of Beasts. From its walls, Sigmar's followers push ever outward into the Ghurish Heartlands - but something ancient is about to awaken, and test the forces of Order like never before.

Listen to it because

Discover the struggles of Order as they attempt to assert their dominance in the wild plains of Ghur, which threatens to be claimed by the atavistic might of Kragnos and his followers.

The story

The Realm of Beasts has ever been a place of savagery and destruction, defiant in the face of Sigmar's feeble attempts at liberation. But now, deep within the mountains of the Ghurish Heartlands, something ancient stirs. A god long-trapped is about to awaken, and the drumbeat of war calls. Ferocious Ironjawz, gluttonous Ogors and towering gargants all set their sights on the human interlopers, determined to cast down their keeps.

It is into this maelstrom that generals Ellistor Seraphine Lisandr and Casius Braun march, sent forth from proud Excelsis to conquer new lands. It is a near suicidal task, made ever worse by the growing rift between Azyrite and Reclaimed. But Sigmar demands sacrifice, and the forces of Order are about to be tested like ever before.

Written by David Guymer. Running time 12 hours 15 minutes. Narrated by Andrew James Spooner.

Great book

loved this story but kragnos was not the main character, yet the story was still very enjoyable. Death is not always clear in the writing so understanding who is in and who is out was a little difficult to catch without rewinding.

Good warhammer book But Spoilers!

I've read alot of warhammer books and each book has a hard part to get past, for Kragons Avatar of Destruction its the being to almost the middle. after the middle of the story is where it gets exciting and I started to like some of the characters.But overall it's not bad I'm kinda disappointed at so many references to seraphon, and we don't really get any interactions.

Good but not best

Not my favorite Black Library novel although it was good and I enjoyed it. narration was excellent and the story was good but it slowed down in the last half, almost to a slog, and it lost me a little towards the end but I was still able to finish iy nonetheless. note: this is one of those books that focuses more on the free guild than the character on the front cover

TOO MICH ORDER/STORMCAST!

Why the hell does GW think every army fan need a to read JO’ing of Stormcast and human factions? The cover has Kragnos, destruction fans BUY that army, so why do they feel the need to STILL cater to humans?

A lot going on. If you don't give it your full attention start to finish, you may find yourself lost.

What was the point?

I generally like David Guymer's work for Black Library, but this novel is a low point. A cast of unlikable characters in a plot that has a foregone conclusion. The whole concept of "There's some mysterious power brewing in Ghur! Will our heroes figure out the mystery and be victorious!" is kind of ruined by the fact that we already know all of the answers: "It's Kragnos." and "No, they won't."

There are sub-plots tied to the various characters but they aren't developed well enough and the characters aren't likable enough for me to care. With a little more work on both story and character, any one of them could have been a good novel or short story in their own, now they've been wasted on this farce.

A novel called "Kragnos: Avatar of Destruction" should have been about, you know, Kragnos? And maybe how he became the avatar of destruction? That could have been a good read and would have really fleshed out some of Destruction's background in the lore. It's a shame that's not what this is.

Andre James Spooner delivers another good performance though. So it has that going for it, which is nice.
