In three and a half years the Age of Sigmar setting has grown from fairly humble beginnings into something wild and imaginative, with vast scope for storytelling and almost unlimited potential. In that time, alongside a couple of dozen novels we’ve seen a whole host of short stories published, some tying in with ongoing narratives and others standing alone. Over a whopping 400+ pages Gods & Mortals collects together eighteen short stories into an impressive anthology, eight of which are brand new while the other ten are drawn from those previously-published tales. Eighteen stories, nine authors, and lots to enjoy.
Inevitably some stories work better than others (although as always that’s going to be pretty subjective), but the overall standard is very high and while most of these are connected to other stories elsewhere there’s very little sense of needing to be fully read-up to be able to enjoy these. There aren’t many spoilers on offer (and they’re not big spoilers even when they do appear), and while it doesn’t necessarily feel like this anthology has been specifically designed as such, it would actually work very well as an introduction to the Mortal Realms.

Loved the Book. I enjoyed how each different author wrote a individual story, but it ultimately made up a complete whole story line.
