The Daemon's Curse by Dan Abnett
1.0
I wanted to like this book, but I couldn't finish it. I got about 3/4 of the way thru, but then I just couldn't read further.
This story has several interesting components, but I think it would have made a much stronger short story, 40-50 pages tops, in and out. It basically introduces Malus Darkblade's goal, but then he ends up fighting new person, after new person, after new person on his way to his goal. There is next to no character interaction and development in the story.
Even more annoying, the action sort of felt ridiculously repetitive, malus gets smacked around, does a sneaky attack, Spit chomps on things, rinse repeat.
I have read many of the Black Library books, and I think this was one of the worst. I will not be reading further in the series. If you want to read about the Dark Elves do yourself a favor and just read the Sundering trilogy.
