Warhammer Age of Sigmar

A Tahlia Vedra Audiobook

Rogue. Mercenary. Champion. Tahlia Vedra is all these things and more. But overcoming the new threat facing Hammerhal Aqsha will require more than just her battlefield experience.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It’s a gripping tale where the legendary Tahlia Vedra must use all her skills to overcome a new threat. But what can she do against a Chaos Warlord and master strategist who can seemingly anticipate her every move?

THE STORY

When Chaos Warlord Mausolus Ebonpyre’s forces annihilate a well-defended citadel, Tahlia is thrown into the bloody arena of Sigmarite politics.

Surrounded by uncertain allies and hidden foes, Tahlia must forge common ground with old rivals, overcome betrayal from within, and learn the arts of diplomacy to face down Ebonpyre, a master schemer and strategist. To save Hammerhal from total war, Tahlia must become more than just a soldier – she must become a leader. She must become the Lioness of the Parch.

Excellent Story of a Newly Introduced Character

A fun story that really knits together the new Freeguild Character into the AoS lore. Definitely worth a listen if you are a fan of the mortals in the mortal realms as it shows the politics and war from their point of view.

A Great Debut for a Great Character

while the book was a bit of a slow starter, I can accept that for a story featuring unestablished characters. one it got going though it was a joy to listen to the whole way through. The political parts of the story were well done, the battles were an excellent mix of action and tactical acumen, and the cast was very enjoyable. Thalia herself may be one of my new favorite Warhammer characters; she feels very real, so to speak, like a person that could exist (if we had manticores to ride).

There was one part at the end of chapter 10 where it seemed like they had to rerecord a bit and instead of editing it in they just overlapped it and made the rerecord louder, it was jarring and lazy editing work on GWs part, but was only a few seconds long.

There is a strong chance I'll be listening to this one a second time and I hope we see a sequal

Fresh Character, Fresh Viewpoint

This book is a gift for fans of Cities of Sigmar. Tahlia manages to juggle deep flaws with great virtues. The book strikes a good balance between the action you would expect from a novel based on a Freeguild Marshal and the political intrigues of someone at the heights of power in one of the largest cities in the setting.

Good story bad narration

fun story for city of sigmar fans. narration lack luster to many nasally male voices that sound to similar.

An average book

The characters are quite one dimensional. Theres a decent story but you could see and anticipate the twists coming. Overall an average read.
