Best at being the Worst

Malus Darkblade is is my favorite fantasy character, and these books are the favorite in my personal library. This is also the perfect voice actor, because he voices the Dark Elves in Skyrim on Solsthiem! I love it. Malus is the best at being the worst in a world full of vile characters and a nonstop satisfying storyline.

Clumsy Malus Made it fun !

Oh how fun the dark elves are ! Everything is weighted on spitful taunts , a silver tounged adventure indeed ! I was shocked at a few turns towards the end with his lieutenant but overall very much recommeded. Malus could easily be a comedian with how manages to eek out victories. Im excited to see the dynamic of the curse going forward. Great start to a series !

It’s amazing.

Probably the best Warhammer novel I’ve read. I’d put it up there with the original 3 Horus heresy books.

Thank you!

Whoever greenlit this series on Audible I can't thank you enough. This is the series that got me into Warhammer, and I'm so happy to be reliving it again. The story is great, and the VA is amazing! Really nails the voice of Malus and all his other voices make it easy to tell who is talking. Please continue the rest of the Series!

Amazing

Loved it was a classic warhammer adventure on par with gotrek and Felix can’t wait for the next one

Love it!

Love the story of the dark blade! Please release more Warhammer Chronicles! Vampire Wars would be amazing.

Great book but where are the other 5 in this series Audible?

I disliked the fact it's a series and one one of six are on this platform!!!

Classic black library.

First of all, let me say how glad i am that they are now seeming to add more and more of the black library books from when i was first getting into warhammer and the hobby.

This was my second go through of the book, and i have only read this first book and now listened to it. To me it is akin to a warm blanket on a snowy day, this era of warhammer books are very nostalgic for me and the way that andrew james spooner brings to life the nefarious and cruel world both of warhammer fantasy and in particular malus dark blade was impressive, even as huge a fan i am of his. The book's journey takes you from malus's greatest triumph to his fall, setting the stage for what comes next rather well.

The biggest complaint i had with this book is some of the battle scenes could have been shortened given how many of them there are.

Favorite set of books

Love the world of war hammer fantasy. This is my favorite story line in that world. I have been waiting for this on here for years and hope to get the rest soon. Would love to hear him read the witch king’s story.

The Best Bad Boy

I adore this series. Malus is as evil as he is compelling. A proper druchii with everything to lose and indeed he does. Only to realize that the depths below were far deeper than his nightmares ever could have fathomed.
