Length: 8 hrs and 43 mins

Publisher's Summary

Across the Mortal Realms, a storm rages. Sigmar announces his return as his Stormcast Eternals strike a vengeful blow against the hordes of Chaos.

Lord-Celestant Vandus Hammerhand has claimed one of the Gates of Azyr and now makes for the dreaded Gate of Wrath in the fire-blackened Brimstone Peninsula of Aqshy, and a reckoning with the Chaos Lord Korghos Khul.

His fellow Lord-Celestants fight just as hard to break the dominion of Chaos; the Stormhosts' grand crusade brings war to the Ghyrtract Fen, where Gardus of the Hallowed Knights strives to take back the Gates of Dawn.

Meanwhile, in the mystical Hanging Valleys of Anvrok, Thostos Bladestorm leads his men against a towering fortress which conceals a prize beyond measure.

real good

I loved the book 1st and last story were great. the last was a struggle.

good to start

iit's good hope those were be more different armys that would be fighting for their own things.

Fun and action packed

Josh Reynolds and Johnathan Keeble pack a punch in book 2 of the Realmgate Wars. So much action it’ll propel you from chapter to chapter. Johnathan Keeble does an amazing job being consistent and exciting.

great story

fantastic story love the attention given to each realm, and each chamber of stormcast eternal

No substance

I really enjoy Black library books, the old Warhammer books as well as the 40K, but this is just dire. Characters are two dimensional and it reads like one rather dull battle report. Very disappointed.

Essential reading for folk getting into AoS

Good story, good characters m, funny dialogue and another exception voice acting performance by Jonathan Keeble.

Really liking the story of AoS

I was never a hardcore WHF fan, but was however skeptical towards AoS at first. But i think the story is turning out to be both action packed and to my liking. There’s a LOT of action, and a lot of short stories so character development is pretty short but it works for sure. If you enjoy bravado and cheesy sigmarine macho brother stuff (space marines brotherhood stuff) you’ll love this book.

Got to hand it to the narrator for giving his all

Assuming that you know the Warhammer universe and play Age of Sigmar, these short stories read like the battle report from a table top war game. They are entertaining enough to fans of the series but there are better Warhammer novels than these if you are not familiar with AoS. The narrator though is superb and whilst the Stormcast Eternals are 2 dimensional he does his best to differentiate them by accent and tone. The narrator really earns his money when it comes to the chapters with Tzeentch and Nurgle demons.

Fun to those who already like the AoS mythos.

Good way to learn the lore.

I listen to these while painting and enjoyed this one more than the first, definitely helped when new factions started to come into it rather than constant Khorne vs Stormcast battles.
