About this listen
A Warhammer Age of Sigmar Audiobook
Beyond the mountain range of the Adamantine Chain, Aqshy lies destroyed. Noxious fires light up the horizon, death skitters in the smoke, and a wasteland of horror threatens the entire realm. Humanity has but a single hope: the Reclusians of the Ruination Chamber. These Stormcast Eternals, though few in number, are the only force capable of enduring the perils of this dark era, for their souls are already broken.
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
Experience a desperate race against time as Stormcast Eternals of the Ruination Chamber find themselves fighting not only the scheming and skittering Skaven, but also the cruel realities of their own shattered souls, and inevitable destinies.
THE STORY
Deep in the heart of the Skaven apocalypse, where survival lies on a knife edge, ratmen and Reclusians alike race towards a prize that will turn the tide of war – a lost Stormcast brother. Should the enemy uncover his forbidden knowledge, Aqshy will surely fall, so, for the chosen of Sigmar, failure is not an option.
The journey is long and full of strife, and for the mortal acolytes who accompany the Reclusians – guardians of their memories and faith – it may be the last steps they take. Yet together, they are hope when hope is dying, a truth they all must seize upon. For without it, they are victims of nightmares and shadow, ushering in this new Hour of Ruin.

Fantastic performance in a dark AoS tale
Surprisingly dark portrayal of the skaven and some interesting lore for the stormcast in a brilliantly performed novel. A perfect introduction to the mortal realms leaving me eager for more.

Skaven as Good Villains
Very stormcast focused novel with skaven as the antagonist. Some good characters and interest in events, although characters not too complex. Definitely recommend if you want to see the more horrific side of skaven.

Outstanding Narration - Story not so much
Let me start by saying that I’m very familiar with the grimdark settings of WH40K, AoS and the Old World and have read & listened to many stories across each of these settings. I know how they often go.
Blood. Pain. Pain, pain, pain and more pain. And some more blood. Every chapter of Skaventide, every character seems to be full of it. So much constant pain that in the end, it ceases to have any real meaning or effect. I started to roll my eyes every time I heard it after halfway through the story. Every character seems to be an emotional mess, never experiencing any level of stability. Crushingly sad one moment, filled with rage the next - Kloster’s cast are like a cluster of manic depressives.
The beginning is excellent, as is the ending. Without spoiling the plot, there are some really good ideas here and the Skaven characters are well portrayed. I like the ominous portents of their coming and how they are shown to be creatures of horror rather than comedy. But there is an awful lot of “filler” here, with vast swathes of the middle part of the story of seemingly no real importance at all. I found myself often drifting while listening, realising I’d missed something, then realising that it largely didn’t matter; most likely just another pain-filled introspective and some more “Hope is a lie” repetition.
The narration by Richard Reed is the best aspect of this audiobook. His Skaven voices are outstanding and make great listening - more so than his other characters - and this alone makes it worth listening to.
There’s a good story underneath all of this, but it takes some “painful” digging to get to.

Great way to introduce the new edition
A good story overall with engaging characters that help bring more character to the stormcast

Grimdark AoS
And that’s as it should be but I find I struggle with the melancholic writing of this author, having just read Lazarus the style and tone are very similar, It would be nice to have the occasional brief introduction of humour to alleviate the gloom
Richard Reeds narration is as alway clear, precise with perfect pronunciation

A good story but the previous ones was better
The story is good but the previous books which was released alongside the second and third edition of the game was better. This one felt mostly as an advertisement for the Skaventide box and how many stories are we going to hear about young people rising from the slums to become a hero? Sure there were times that I couldn’t stop listening but at the same time it could have been so much better.

great edition starter
this was a fun story with a solid cast. the skaven are definitely the stars of the show as the depiction of them is truely terrifying. the narrator does a great job with all the different characters. the contrast between a scared mortal and a filthy skaven is great. the book does drag a bit in the final act and could definitely prosper from being a few chapters less.
