In the deathly realm of Shyish， the Twinned Towns of Westreach and Eastdale exist on the edge of annihilation。 Once in each generation， the hosts of Lady Olynder rise from their tombs to slaughter the towns’ inhabitants， and for centuries the nighthaunts have been turned back， but only after the fiercest of battles。 Now， the wizards in the ancient Belvegrod lighthouse have deciphered a prophetic vision that offers a chance to break the curse placed upon the city。 The hero Jahangir is fated to lead a desperate mission against the Mortarch of Grief and free his people from this menace once and for all。 But is Jahangir equal to the ordeal before him？ Can the courage of mortals stand against the undying malice of the Lady of Sorrows？

Lady Of Sorrows by C L Werner literally dragged me by the hair through hidden thorns of thousands of roses。 A beautiful cover and an intriguing title drew me into this Age of Sigmar title when I normally only dabble in the Old World literature。 I expected heroes and adventure and ghouls and horror and victory。 But I warn anyon who dares turn their eyes towards this title， it is a wolf in sheeps clothing。 It will kep you excited and bound to the edge of your seat before tearing away chunk after c Lady Of Sorrows by C L Werner literally dragged me by the hair through hidden thorns of thousands of roses。 A beautiful cover and an intriguing title drew me into this Age of Sigmar title when I normally only dabble in the Old World literature。 I expected heroes and adventure and ghouls and horror and victory。 But I warn anyon who dares turn their eyes towards this title， it is a wolf in sheeps clothing。 It will kep you excited and bound to the edge of your seat before tearing away chunk after chunk from that precious light of hope。 As dramatic as that sounds， I absolutely loved this book。 It was much darker than a lot of books I have read recently， and definitely kept me wanting more。 I gave it a solid 4。5/5 stars with just some of the writing feeling a little overloaded and dragging a bit。 I also think it is a difficult read for those with no knowledge of the Warhammer univerese （and I'm lucky my partner has been forcing me to play the Total War version of the game as well as constantly telling me the lore）。 。。。more

I almost went with 3 stars but I enjoyed the book too much。 C。 L。 Werner is an excellent writer， technically speaking。 The sentences flow superbly and the vocabulary is perfectly balanced。 However， the message being conveyed feels clunky at times， especially when describing scenery。 I often had a hard time imagining the characters’ surroundings， which was distracting。 This happened multiple times in the book and is probably my biggest complaint （still not very big）。 Regarding environmental descr I almost went with 3 stars but I enjoyed the book too much。 C。 L。 Werner is an excellent writer， technically speaking。 The sentences flow superbly and the vocabulary is perfectly balanced。 However， the message being conveyed feels clunky at times， especially when describing scenery。 I often had a hard time imagining the characters’ surroundings， which was distracting。 This happened multiple times in the book and is probably my biggest complaint （still not very big）。 Regarding environmental descriptions。 I think the author had an idea in his mind， and just didn’t fully flesh it out on paper。 （I haven’t seen anyone else mention this so maybe it’s just me。）Characters were pretty interesting。 I’m going to echo another reviewer that they were mostly archetypal but fun archetypes。 There is a purpose for this though， with the way the story plays out， so I wasn’t bothered by it in the end。 The characters also had enough foibles to keep my interest。Final and smallest comment would be descriptions of the nighthaunts。 Not many different types were mentioned。 They needed more love！ I am holding out that someday bladegheists and dreadscythes will get a mention in the Black Library。Overall smooth and moderately compelling read that I’m glad I stuck with。 Werner is a great author， and just has some minor areas of improvement for future BL entries。 。。。more

It’s a hard book to rate。 It reads a lot like a Dungeons and Dragons story where the main plot is a 2/5， but the characters and the side quests are a solid 5/5。

A tale of a hard journey full of dread and desperation。Throughout this book， there are both clear and hidden dangers that reach out and sometimes grasp a character or two to their doom。 There is no plot armour。 The characters do what they can to overcome prejudices against one another as they quest together to break a curse， but some do not overcome them， and that leads to tension， despite the victories they win together on their journey。

Solidly ok。There's some enjoyable moments that often get overlooked in the greater edifice such as the imperialist attitude of Azihyme and the realm of light， the hubris of calling lands stolen from native gods "reclaimed" and that general interpersonal tension of being in what is essentially a new and dangerous world。The problem is that its sometimes very paint by numbers and that actual setting that the characerts are fighting for feel so very far away and disconnected。 The Twin Towns is a coo Solidly ok。There's some enjoyable moments that often get overlooked in the greater edifice such as the imperialist attitude of Azihyme and the realm of light， the hubris of calling lands stolen from native gods "reclaimed" and that general interpersonal tension of being in what is essentially a new and dangerous world。The problem is that its sometimes very paint by numbers and that actual setting that the characerts are fighting for feel so very far away and disconnected。 The Twin Towns is a cool idea but my only sympathy towards it is just not wanting to see innocent people suffer。 Likewise， I liked the idea of some of the characters but they aren't that deep。 They're very archetypical but I like those archetypes。All in all， I'd say you should pick up this book but only if you're already a fan of the sereis and have read all the Josh Reynald Nagash books。 。。。more

Hardback is a beautiful book。 Artwork is stunning。 Excellent production。 Well done Warhammer。 Story is well written。Characters are relatable and provoke disgust， empathy or interest。 Not what I expected， however an enjoyable read and being set in shyish horror is all round。 Has many different aspects that should appeal to Warhammer horror fans。 I will be adding it to my collection of books。

That was a really fine adventure read。 Werner knows how to write！ A band of adventurers set forth to put down an ancient evil。 That’s great straightforward classic fantasy; then the clever twist at the end。
