SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS THREAD, THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW SPOILERS TALKED ABOUT. IF YOU DONT WANT TO SPOIL SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTENT PLOT POINTS FOR YOURSELF, TURN BACK NOW.
Took the plunge, read it, finished it and loved it. Although it takes time to actually get round to Gotrek. Snorri plays a huge part in this book.

stuck this at the beginning of the thread, you never know we may spoil the story for some folks.

[Mr Mystery]

True that!

Also Spoilers for the following End Times books!

Could someone PM me the details of Snorri's doom? Or post it up in the thread. I haven't read the slayer novels in a long time (since giant-slayer), but always wanted to know how his doom would be re-written (there was a short story in the 4th? edition empire book that Snorri died to a group of trolls).

[Mr Mystery]

PM sent dude.

So the death Ulrika seems to have people pretty steamed. I mostly concern my self with the time of legends books, so I don't know about her very much. how did she come about? and she was some kind of friendly neighborhood vampire deal?

[Deadlift]

Gotrek and Felix met her pre vamp, Felix, Max and Ulrika had this love triangle thing going on and Felix was romantically linked with her at some point. When she was "reborn" Ulrika had a trilogy written, which I've not read.
She's a pretty cool character. A strong capable woman who's an equal to any of the men in the books and killing her off was a bit surprising. I don't think this will be the end of her though. Vampires have a habit or coming back. Ulrika had also been feeding on Trolls and I wouldn't be surprised if the authors use their regenerative nature and pass it onto her via her feeding. Vamps have this ability in the world of WFB but I could see drinking troll blood enhancing that.

What Deadlift said. She started in the Gotrek and Felix novels where she was already an unusually good female character for BL at the time, then she got her own series of novels and has thus had more written about her than any GW female character to date. So having her killed off in a really bad way in someone elses novel is like a huge slap in the face.

Not to mention the really, really creepy overtones of having a guy kill his 'crazy' ex-girlfriend.

Decided I will write a (polite) letter to BL explaining why this is a big deal and begging them to bring her back somehow. Encourage anyone else who cares to do the same.

I can do that

My, isn't this "moving the story line forward" bussiness fun, so many good things taken away for mostly corporate reasons.....sigh, the more they change the less interested I am finding myself in these end times

edit:

I'm with eldargal on this one, over the last few months GW has basically removed many of the female characters from both the games and the settings, and they've been doing it for some fairly stupid reasons or in some very cliche and BS ways (and its going to be worse, goodbye malys, we hardly knew you)
