This is everything I want out of a Warhammer book.
Disabled folks and normal humans kickin' the shit out of evil Demigods is a whole ass mood.
The central friendship in this one was surprisingly impactful, it is a rare Warhammer book that leaves me with tears, but Pharos managed it.
The Night Lords are terrifying and seeing every day folks face that fear was the pick me up I needed today.
The universe is a dark miserable place, you can either give into it or you can spit in its face to live your best life. (Your best life still might end with you getting flayed alive...but those are the breaks)
