Not knowing what the rules are for this board game that the title bares reference too, I did enjoy this story as it unfolded. I wonder if there will be a follow up to it (maybe with new races also taking interest in going to beastgrave?). Overall happy with novel. The ending left me with a lot of questions about where the characters will be ending up.

Thank you NetGalley and Black Library for accepting my request for this ARC.

This is a great addition to the Age of Sigmar stories. Beastgrave, the mythical living mountain draws all sorts to its chasms. From the beastmen and goblins to the noble dryads, all are called to Beastgrave for promises of power or to stop evil from claiming that power.
Werner does a fantastic job of introducing us to the different factions vying for control as we journey with them to and through the mountain. Throughout the trek, we meet many others who have also made the trip.
One of the best things of this book is the callouts to the various warbands from previous and the current edition of the Warhammer Underworlds board game. Fans of the game get to see the flesh eating ghouls, the mighty Troggoth, some dwarves and even a female Ogre all contending in the deep caves.
This book is a great starting off point for those jumping into all Age of Sigmar has to offer. It is also a perfect companion for those already versed in the lore and who love to play the game.

I have been reading WH40k and Horus Heresy books for a while now but only recently have I ventured into the AoS books and I am hooked! This is another great example of the quality of writers that BL attract, I am going to be spending a lot of money on more of these books now!!
