Black Library fiction Lelith Hesperax: Queen of Knives by Mike Brooks

[Nephaston]

Comes both in Standard and Special Editions.

 

Nice to have another dive into Commoraghian politics.

[Trysanna]

Oh, oh I like this.

Edited April 17 by Captain Idaho

[Marshal Rohr]

Sure hope that limited edition pans out. 

[Casual Heresy]

Just when I thought I'd completed my LE collection of these character novels they bring out another one!

 

This should be an interesting read though. I don't think we've had Lelith as a character in a BL publications before so fleshing out the character beyond 'space dark elf goes stab'. Plus I enjoy Mike's work so I'm optimistic about this one.

I just finished the Biggest Dakka, and Mike did a great job with the Drukhari side of the book. I’ll be on the lookout for this

I second this. Exited to see what he does with Lelith

[The Praetorian of Inwit]

So far all of Brooks novels have been great reads and Lelith is one of my favorite's so this is a great announcement.

Such a shame that they haven´t released a book about Kruellagh instead.

WoW they had me at Mike Brooks but I stayed for Lelith  I'm too intelligent to do Collectors books (which technically means I have no disposable income for extravagance) 

So I'm Quite happy to see the Hardback will be out soon after as well. I will say though that's a damn fine LE book though

Not usually a big space elf fan, but I've really liked all of Brooks' BL books I've read so far and I'm game to give this one a shot too. Cover art for both versions is great.

More Dark Eldar fiction is always good. Not sure how I feel about political intrigue in a Lelith book as I always felt that her whole schtick was being “above it all” and just killing for fun/sport. But I guess her trying to leave Commoragh for whatever reason and being forced back could work as a plot hook. Kind of a female BDSM elf John Wick thing.

 

I hope Lucius shows up, I feel like him and Lelith could make for good rivals. Lelith is probably more martially skilled overall, but she can’t kill him for obvious reasons. Guess I’m just wish-listing now but—do it BL!

Honestly a far from expected book popping up that (potentially/partly) delves further on two storylines that have been on ice for a long time, that some (probably just me) speculated would both be looked again when its time to hype up emperors children.. only a day after the (equally random in timing) EC index announcement. Its hard to stay the ever skeptical me haha.

 

This is not one of the plot lines I refer to, but had to immediately think about this short story :

[Alby the Slayer]

This is exciting and unexpected so I welcomed it!

 

After the Ynnari debacle, something I find very interesting but it seems forgotten for years now (where is the third damn book)? anything drukhari/aeldari related is cool.

 

I will go for the normal release though. Can't seem to justify 65 € or more for LE anymore.

[Remain_Indoors]

I’ve really enjoyed Mike Brooks work so I’ll be grabbing the regular version.

[Hellath]

Mike Brooks is turning out to be one of the best and most prolific BL writers, thus I will definitely be giving this a read. Here's hoping that a sequel to Son of the Forest is not far behind.

Maybe we'll finally work out why she suddenly decided to wear trousers!
