Mixed Blessings

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 January 2014

Verified Purchase

Short stories following doomed Slayer Gotrek Gurnisson's perilous adventures as he seeks a worthy doom, accompanied by the reluctant poet Felix Jaeger, who once drunkenly swore to record the dwarf's end in an epic poem. The anthology includes the best and worst of their stories. Gotrek suffers from a 'Hulk Smash' problem as a character. He seeks out the most dangerous things he can, and fights them to the death. He's very single-minded about it, and his obsession leaves little else of interest to write explore in the character. It's Felix who brings shade and story to what would otherwise be a series of scraps with little to recommend them. The best tales here remember this, including Nathan Long's two excellent entries and Richard Salter's romping final story. Many of the others replace Felix's point of view with other characters, and only John Brunner's journey into a cult gone wrong succeeded in holding my interest. A mixed bag, then. Some excellent adventuring, held back by some unsuccessful experimenting with what makes these characters work.

Interesting angles

Short pieces, varying in length from rather short to a decent story. Good style generally and some interesting ideas. Better than the Nathan Long books can be at times.

Schwache Kurzgeschichtensammlung

Reviewed in Germany on 28 March 2013

Verified Purchase

Was findet der Leser/Fan hier vor? Nun, 10 Kurzgeschichten, von denen manche Gortrk & Felix nur als Nebenpersonen aufweisen. Aber das ist gar nicht das Problem des Buches.

Die eigentliche Romanserie leidet bereits darunter, dass immer stärkere Gegner letztlich immer knapper besiegt werden - und der Leser weiss es schon vorher. Neben den Hauptcharakteren sterben auch die wichtigsten Protagonisten nicht. Dadurch verliert Warhammer viel von seiner Düsternis, was grade diese Fantasy Serie von gängiger Literatur auf diesem Gebiet angenehm unterscheidet. Wenn hier dann Kurzgeschichten mit der Beerdigun Gotreks beginnen oder ein Skaven Erfolg hat beim Töten eines Menschen/Zwergen Paares ist von vornherein offensichtlich, wie wohl die "überraschende Wendung" der Ereignisse daher kommen wird.

Negativ hat mich bei dieser Sammlung ausgerechnet die Story Slayer's Honor von Nathan Long überrascht. Deutlich länger als alle anderen entpuppt sie sich als eher dürftig und wird nur noch von Snorry's Geschichte "A Cask of Wynters" nach unten hin getoppt. Ähnlich schwach auch der Abschluß des Bandes "The Funeral of Gotrek Gurnisson", die zwar einige nette Wendungen enthält, aber durch Ulrikas blasses auftreten deutlich an Durschlag verliert.

Dazwischen sind zwar ordentliche, aber keine einzige herausragende Geschichte zu finden. Abgesehen von der ersten sind diese jeweils rund 30 Seiten lang.

Ich hab schon mehrfach das Gefühl gehabt, der Storybogen sei überspannt und die Legende von Gotrek & Felix nähere sich ihrem Ende. Nach diesem Sammelsurium an Kurzgeschichten kann man es den beiden Helden nur wünschen. Schade.
