Ozeryk_Sleipnijr Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Just finished the book. ADB did a good Job and made me like The Space Wolves and Ragnar Blackmane even more.

Quixus Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Which one is that? I thought the Ragnar books were written by William King and the Lee Lightner duo. Also it is A D-B for Aaron Dembski-Bowden Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317626-ragnar-blackmane-by-adb/#findComment-4263474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Blackwood Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The new Ragnar book is a fantastic one It works much like the first 6 ragnar books by King and Lighter as a means to show you Ragnar's growth and development but in a much more noticeable and potent manner because of the subject matter of the novel itself. The book is an incredibly fun read and I highly recommend it. If you are a space wolves fan , Read. This. Book.

Wraithwing Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Started reading this today, and am nearly done with it. Damn it's good, and reinforces everything I love about the Wolves. Only downside is, now I want to do Blackmane's Great Company!

Yoyo ninja Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It is a great book, I managed to get one of the limited edition hardback books. I had read it within a week of getting it.

Lord Ragnarok Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Loved ADB tale. Made me like the Flesh Tearers as well. It continues to amaze me how well he infuses reality into the characters. They easily come to life in my mind. If I havent said it yet, Im diving in right after I finish Pharos I was reading Pharos then Ragnar put a serious halt on that endeavor.

I feared that if I put Pharos down I wouldnt pick it back up. as much as I love 30k. the recent slew up novels, novellas and other cashgrabs have been especially poor of late.

Lord Blackwood Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Of the things I was recently able to get my hands on being Ragnar The Entire Tallaran Series but Ironclad especially New Garro Novella Pharos Which is a shame because I had high hopes for Pharos yer a better man than me Jarl @n @ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317626-ragnar-blackmane-by-adb/#findComment-4266317 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I have to admit that I have read very little SW literature, but Prospero Burns gave me the (good kind) chills pretty much the entire read through. This book is on my radar, as I have heard nothing but brilliant comments about A D-B and his writing.

Lord Blackwood Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I can certainly highly recommend this book to you RPR While not up there with prospero burns its still a legit really good read and should help kindle some hobby excitement.

godking Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Loved it the spacewolves are both the most loyal friends to have at your side but also some of the biggest self righteous jackasses to have to deal with. Scarath's get the :cuss over yourself speech to Ragnar was completly correct.

Hergrmir Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I quite liked it. I think ADB was pretty even handed with all the characters, and even the Dark Angels come across in a good light. The interplay between Blackmane and Razortongue was good, in that Razortongue strove pretty damn hard to keep the Wolves honest in spite of their own bluster, and Blackmane eventually rose to the challenge. And everyone involved had to do that - Sorael, Vorain and Blackmane all undertook some conflict and grew in meaningful ways. Good read all around.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I just finished the book. It was hard to put down, and I skipped sleep in order to charge ahead. I found myself questioning the righteousness of these Wolves more than the Wolves of the Great Crusade or the 32M. I think its because this era of the Wolves had been established longer. I found the Dark Angel and Wolf interactions very fun and interesting. The changes to Honor's End...put me off a bit. Kinda irrational probably, but I enjoyed the earlier cut and dry reasons from the codex. Overall, an interesting and challenging look into the Wolves of the 41stM. Not enough to greatly change any of my views of the Wolves or the setting.

It will be my first AD-B read and I'm psyched for all the good word of mouth he gets and the grwat reviews this book has been getting. About Wolf's Honor... I don't wish to derail this thread in any way, shape or form so could someone please PM me about what changes were made? I own the omnibus but if there's an alternate version, I'd like to pick it up if its worth it.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I cannot recommend any BL author as much as I love's A D-B's writing. if this is to be your first, make sure it isnt your last. He is a gift to the warhammer literary universe.
