Well more accurately Queek Headtaker, as it is his tale that concludes here.
Gav Thorpe did the same in The Curse of Khaine, bringing Malekith's and indeed the Elves, tale to a satisfying conclusion and finishing his Sundering saga. For The Fall of Altdorf Chris Wraight tied up Hellborg and Schwarzhelm of the Empire's story. Indeed it could be said that each book wraps up the story of a character, being handled by the Author that contributed most directly to their background. Sadly this is not the case, instead each novel seems to focus upon only one character.
I was rather hoping that by reading these novels would be gaining a greater perspective of the End Times as a whole, enriching what seems to be a fairly superficial overview in the books. It has become increasingly apparent that each of these novels will focus on a very specific part of the cataclysmic saga that signals the end of the Warhammer World. As I have previously said, I have not read all of the large hardback campaign books but that is something I am going have to change. Now that Age of Sigmar has been released I am getting a renewed sense of sadness from these books.
