A Shield Against Mediocrity Was Needed

Guardians of the Forest (2005)

By Graham McNeill

This book is yet another disappointing Warhammer novel.

Wood elves and chaos beastmen are two of my favorite Warhammer races. It is criminal that the author could not do more with them than this.

The protagonist/victim is a Bretonnian knight, who later transmogrifies into a grail knight.

There are some interesting discontinuities in the space/time continuum, but it is nowhere near enough to save the novel from a conspiracy of mediocrity.
