Shadowbreed

I am really enjoying reading the Konrad Saga, the books are truly engaging. I am not going to lay saying these are the best reading I've ever had, but definitely are worth it if you like the genre. So far, Konrad saga is a lot about destiny and fate (I've not read the 3rd book yet), may be a bit too much, but this is what it is about. Sometimes I also feel the books are a bit repetitive about the past in a way that leads to upcoming events and sometimes kill the surprise. Some other times, truly surprising and amazing developments and do happen. Sometimes big blanks are not filled in (maybe later?)... Wait for my 3rd book review and I'll give you more info... So far, so good. Start reading.

DESCRIPTION: THE SECOND CREATURE RAN STRAIGHT ONTO KONRAD'S SWORD IMPALING ITSELF. KONRAD'S EARLIER VOW HAD BEEN FULFILLED: DRAWING HIS SWORD HAD MEANT SPILLING SKAVEN BLOOD. A MOMENT LATER, THE NEXT SKAVEN'S THROAT WAS TORN OUT WITH A SINGLE SWORD SWEEP. IT GURGLED, BLOOD BUBBLING FROM ITS MOUTH AND POURING FROM ITS NECK AS IT DIED. HE WRENCHED HIS BLADE FREE, THENPLUNGED IT INTO THE CHEST OF THE NEXT CREATURE. ITS HOT BLOOD SPURTED OVER HIM, AND HE LAUGHED IN TRIUMPH. FOUR DOWN, A HUNDRED MORE TO COME.

Shadowbreed picks up right where Konrad leaves off, and continues the story. This book is a more solid novel, it is faster paced, has more action, and answers a few questions from the first. If you like Konrad than this is a must read. The only flaw is the fact that once again David Ferring just lets the ending drop...and that is unbelievably frustrating.
