Summary

A Warhammer Age of Sigmar novel

The War of Life affects all in Ghyran - even the underwater kingdoms of the Idoneth Deepkin. With battle raging, Prince Lurien seizes his chance to take the Jade Throne of Briomdar - but can he overcome his foes and his fellow Deepkin to claim his prize?

Listen to it because:

Dive beneath the oceans of the Mortal Realms to discover the politics and life of the Idoneth Deepkin in the first novel to explore their culture and motivations in depth.

The story:

Deep beneath the oceans of Ghyran, in kingdoms forgotten by gods and time and overlooked by the ravages of Chaos, the Idoneth Deepkin endure in bitter solitude. However, the Jade Throne of Briomdar sits empty, its long isolation threatened as never before in its history. The Everqueen’s warsong awakens the forests of both land and sea, and everywhere the diseased knights of Nurgle fight to the last foetid breath for the verdant Realm they claim as theirs. But for Prince Lurien this time of peril is one ripe with opportunity. It will take every drop of wit, guile and treachery the prince has to overcome not only the myriad foes of the Idoneth but his fellow Deepkin as well.

Written by David Guymer. Narrated by Mark Elstob.

Very engaging and interesting.

An intriguing look into one of Order’s most mysterious allies. A ‘deep’ exploration of their civilisation and the very world they exist in. How does combat and day to day life work when you are humanoid beings that live under the sea? Well, it’s in this book...

Entertaining

Some bits reminded me of Blackadder. I would enjoy more characterisations like this one.
Narration was excellent.

Insight into the court and intrigue of the Idoneth

Very well written and performed audiobook. It gave an insight into the power structures and courts of the Idoneth previously unseen (pun). Of particular interest was the social structures of those with and without souls and where that put you in terms of your class.

anti-hero at its finest

I really enjoyed the relationships between characters, I wouldn't recommend reading without prior knowledge about the deepkin, otherwise it would be a very difficult read.
