I love the warhammer 40k books that are told from the orks perspective. It’s always a fun read and the humor is always spot on. But this one is different. Crowley exceeds where others have already done amazing work. The humor is top notch. He captures the essence of the greenskin mindset in 40k. The violence is done good as well, and the story is actually very captivating.
The story is told mostly from the perspective of a lowly grot, and follows the rise of the warlord Ghazghkull Thraka. From his low, and somewhat humorous beginnings. The book expands on the Ork lore/culture that warhammer 40k has developed over the years and is much more descriptive on it than most greenskin based novels.
The book has plenty of action mixed throughout but it’s not done in the style of most warhammer writers. The most glaring difference is most of the action is told from the perspective of someone watching it, but not taking part in it. (The Grot) this leads to some very hilarious descriptions of the events that take place.
I will say if you are not a 40k fan this book probably won’t be that enjoyable. But anyone with a love of warhammer 40k should definitely pick this up. If you enjoyed Brutal Kunnin or The Gobbos Revenge, I would 100 percent get this. Or if you enjoyed this book and haven’t read those two, give them a try. You will.
