Blood of Nagash #1
Neferata: Blood of Nagash
Neferata is a queen without a kingdom. Lahmia has fallen, her vampire children have scattered and she is reduced to draining blood from the beasts of the mountains. After a chance encounter with a party of dwarfs, she sets her sights on a capital for her new empire – the stronghold of Silver Pinnacle. She calls her allies to battle – but can she truly trust Ushoran, Lord of Masks, and his bestial Strigoi vampires?

Neferata (which translates into "Beautiful Death" in ancient Nehekharan), Queen of Lahmia, Queen of the Silver Pinnacle, the First of the Vampires and the primogenitor of the Lahmian bloodline of vampires. To understand this book fully, it does help to have read "The Rise of Nagash". So a little bit of background to this book.
When Nagash, the Great Necromancer, rose to power in Nehekhara many were the king-priests that opposed him. The events detailed in that book explain that Nagash created an elixir that gave his select followers a form of immortality that turned them into liches. A liche is an undead Necromancer who has been able to rise beyond death. One of the most powerful of these beings was Arkhan the Black, who allied himself with Neferata's brother and brought the teachings of necromancy to Lahmia. The city-states, including Lahmia, fought against Nagash and eventually defeated him.
But Nagash had a well placed spy in Lahmia- W'soran, the High Priest of the Mortuary Cult. As the war was waged, W'Soran convinced Neferata to begin to learn the secrets of Nagash. Along the way, due to her brother's jealousy, she was poisoned. The strange combination of her version of the Elixir of Life and the Sphinx-blood poison caused her to rise not as a liche but as a vampire.
Eventually, she would turn others of her retinue from W'soran and Abhorash into vampires. These beings are the progenitors of the vampire bloodlines in the "current" timeline. These events take place two and a half millennia before the coming of Sigmar.
This story takes place after the events of the the Rise of Nagash. Neferata had never met Nagash, as he was destroyed while she was still studying in Lahmia. The story in this book is told in two time-frames. The "past" (circa -1170 Imperial) starts with the destruction of Lahmia by the last great Priest-King, Alcadizaar the Conqueror. Neferata flees her ancient home to try to establish a new one. This "past" covers a long period where she has various adventures. The other part is the story of how she comes to rule the Silver Pinnacle.
That's it. No more spoilers. Read this book. Especially if you like vampires. Each of the lines are different such as Abhorash's offspring-the Blood Dragons, are like vampire knights who seek perfection in combat and discipline the thirst. W'soran's get are known as Necrachs and while they look like corpses, their magical ability is amazing. Ushoran's line is known as the Strigoi and are a bestial, animalistic breed. Vashanesh, aka Vald von Carstein and Neferata's Consort, founds the von Carstein line who are very similar to the Dracula-style of vampire. Neferata's line- the Lahmians are almost exclusively female. They are cunning and seductive, ruling from the shadows.
This book explains the change in outlook for Neferata as she, through a series of misadventures, learns a vital lesson. Instead of being overt rulers like von Carstein, the Lahmians infiltrate powerful places by becoming the concubines, servants, "slaves", mistresses and sometimes even wives of wealthy merchants, powerful lords and kings. They whisper from the dark and control the minds. Neferata's kingdom is vast as it reaches into almost every nation.
A great book and a wonderful look into a very cool character. Neferata is certainly worth your time for a Warhammer fan, but I think if you like vampires in general-you will like this book. Again reading the Nagash book isn't needed, but it helps to give some background.

Not only a superb Warhammer novel but also a vampire story worth reading, yes, that's right, a vampire story worth reading, not got one of those in a LONG time! Got to be fair, all in all I find it very hard to pick any fault at all with this one, action packed like you wouldn't believe possible, extremely well written, gritty as hell and perfectly puts place everything needed to know about the 'Queen of Vampires' aswell as a load of new players in a devious game of power, and even brings into play one of my favourite Warhammer characters to date in the mighty 'Nagash' the plot is way too complex, but never too much, to even begin to get into on a review so I'll just leave this one as a must read, simple as that.

Hot damn what a novel!
When Arkhan the Black comes to Neferata, Eternal Queen of Lahmia, on his master's bidding he gets a story instead.
We hear of how Neferata had come to sit upon the Silver Pinnacle, and how the fate of the Vampires had played out since the Fall of Lahmia.
The story was phenomenal. Josh did a really great job following up the glory that Mike Lee did to the Nehekharan's story. There was heart racing action, bone chilling treachery and deceit, a little heartwarming romance, an entire mountains' worth of hate, and lets not forget the rivers of blood. Neferata and her coulourful(although pale) band of handmaidens, alongside a mostly dead cast of characters really made the story shine.
I can't wait to see what he does with the rest of the series, and by Nagash, Black Library better commission him to write the final novel in this trilogy!

A passable book. I found the two time lines extremely annoying, Sometimes a more classic linear timeline works better and due to the high amount of side characters it would have been more appropriate here. The time jumps weren't that good either often i would have liked to have read a bit more on events happening but the next page turned out to be a hundred years later. The best part of the book was the siege of the dwarvenstronghold. Which isn't suprising since the author also worked on a Gotrek and Felix novel. It almost felt like the author was rushing trough all the stuff before to write the part he wanted to write (when the dwarfs come in the picture). It's a shame that several authors that tried so far to write about the chaos races failed because they don't really like the chaos races or at least that was the general sentiment i felt reading this book. 3 stars but only because the dwarf chapters where spot on but the rest of the book? Meh

Despite what people think about the fantasy genre, it too can have it's Mary Sues. Spoiler: Neferata is a queen who fell into depravity and lost her throne. Whilst wandering through the desert with her band of the few people loyal to her, she has several violent encounters. Yes, people get ripped apart and some might see that as cool, but Neferata is as dumb as a box of rocks. Despite being so dumb as to make bold claims and getting her band in worse and worse situations, somehow everything goes Neferata's way in the end. If I read about vampires I want them to have quite a bit of intelligence.

Excellent book! After reading Ulrika trilogy by Nathon Long, I wanted to know more about the origins of the Lahmian society and their queen, Neferata. Josh Reynolds does an excellent job depicting her and her relations with other renown characters in the Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts timeline. This is a must read for any Warhammer fans!
January 25, 2013
Not bad, though I hope they explore Abhorash more. Plus, they whoop on some dwarves which is always cool in my book, and there's plenty of fodder for campaign/gaming background for the tabletop.
It did have the annoying style of bouncing back and forth between stories that were taking place 400-500 years apart for no good reason--it's a trope that BL needs to do away with.

A strong opening to the new vampire trilogy. It does lack enough detail on certain points of character for the supporting cast, but Neferata is very well fleshed out.

This was my second time reading this book. The first time I loved it, this second time (years later), I still enjoyed it, but I definitely struggled with parts.
Each chapter starts with a retrospective, and then the actual time line, with the retrospectives catching up with the start of the book at the end, and the actual timeline catching up with the start of the book. It needlessly jumped around, for really no real need. This created a disjointed narrative, that didn't flow as well as it should have.
I loved reading about Stigos and the Neferata's start there, as well as her machinations with Ushoran. However, the motivations are all a little vague, Neferata really doesn't seem to know what she wants (and maybe that is the point), but this means at times she seems to be scheming just for scheming's sake.
Neferata herself is infuriating (I think purposefully so), so convinced of her own infallibility and superiority that she continually misses miss steps and mistakes until it is too late, but she still gets thru. Her interactions with the dwarves were fascinating, and probably the best part of the book.
The book ends with her concluding that the dead cannot rule the living, because they slowly consume and corrupt the culture, but we aren't really shown how. The Strioi seem better off then when the book started, but is their core spoiled... maybe?
I think this really tries to ride on the coattails of the extremely good Nagash trilogy, and just doesn't quite manage to deliver. Its a shame as at its core the main characters are interesting, the setting and the action compelling, but it crams too much into one book, while expanding on the past (that doesn't fully matter) and jumping around the "present." I wish black library had allowed these books closer to the Horus Heresy treatment, where they could have been multi-parted, expanded on, and taken their time, but perhaps its best they didn't.
Overall not a great read, black library has better offerings. Perhaps I should have let this stew in my memory as good.

I'm fresh off finishing my read and the ending chapter knocked the wind out of me. The story overall is fantastic, though far from gentle. It is, in a way, two stories running in parallel, though flashbacks and the present history.
The meat of the story concerns how Neferata acquired the Silver Pinnacle, and the disjointed flashback glimpses at her long history before she is compelled to journey to Mourkain.
There's all the beautiful complexities and unpleasantness of a villain-protagonist. Neferata is merciless when it suits her, and her whims of mercy and temper in equal measure can be unpredictable to those around her. Cold and calculated plays in politics often see the deserving and innocent alike thrown into the thresher in the name of her progress, or even her convenience. Yet, in a way, you can't help but cheer for her and her handmaidens. Especially when there are grander evils at work in the old world.
As always Josh exhibits amazing character work. Every reoccurring character is distinct and memorable. Especially the Dwarves, I found. I would have loved to see more of them, but such was not to be. I do hope to see some of Morath when I start Master of Death as well.
Of relation to all these secondary characters: I did pick up this book for the express purpose of researching Khaled, and it answered a great number of questions, and raised further ones. Also, Josh? That was cruel, and my heart hurts for that flaming garbage can of a vampire. Who do I have to pay to make you do it again?

Deep, thoughtful and full of character,
Nererata is one of those rare novels that endevours to make an otherwise unlikable character appealing, sympathetic and very readable. By the end of Neferata (Blood of Nagash) you wont necessarily like the title character but you will certainly have enjoyed her journey and really understand what makes her who she is. Penned by Josh Reynolds, this story is unapologetic in its portrayal of betrayal, manipulation and devious cunning and it it brilliant for it.
Neferata: Blood of Nagash features many themes, from adventure to the political, underhanded cunning to brutal combat; its all there. The narrative regularly flips back from Neferata's deep past and her present, showing the breadth of her actions across the south lands and the consequences that follow her wherever she goes. Something I found interesting while reading is that Neferata's character evolves but she does not change, unlike the world around her that most certainly does change, irreversibly so. It is an interesting character arc and it is not until the closing chapters and one moment in particular that I can think of where it really sinks in just who this old Vampire truly is. It is a thrilling and thoughtful tale that is well worth the read for any fantasy fan.
A 4.5 out of 5.

3.7 - Refreshingly good after the bitter taste left by the last book of the Nagash trilogy
I liked: After reading the Nagash trilogy the prose and pacing felt much better here. I liked all that had to do with the dwarfs, particularly taking over Silver Pinnacle. Seeing Neferata using soft power and intrigues rather than just the typical Warhammer brute force approach was refreshing. Character building and relationships that Neferata has with some other characters in the book seem nicely fleshed out.
I didn't like: In the middle of the story seems that Neferata doesn't know what she's doing. As a reader, I felt inertia with the plot as if the author didn't know where he wanted to take me. The two timelines get tiresome after a few chapters, I constantly went back to see how many years have passed to understand the context of what is going on.
Ok read around Lahmian vampire origins and a promising start of a new trilogy.

Even though the jumps across the timeline got confusing every now and again, this was a fantastic read. It has everything I love about vampiric high fantasy; political subterfuge, cool vampires, dynamic battles, found families with in the form of bloodlines, badass women and much more.
I really liked the titular character, Neferata. She was a cold, ruthless ruler who was haunted by the loss of her kingdom and battling her protectiveness and softness towards her handmaidens, especially that of Naaima. The ending was delicious, especially given the fact that since vampires don’t age or really notice the flowing of time, their pettiness can span centuries.
This was a highly entertaining book and I’m glad I read it.

Shadowhawk reviews the first book in the Blood of Nagash trilogy for the Time of Legends books set in the Warhammer Fantasy Battles setting.
“With Neferata, Josh Reynolds brings the kind of excitement that was lacking in Black Library’s previous premier Vampires trilogy from Mike Lee and tells a focused story about one of my favourite characters from across the Warhammer Fantasy lore.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
That opening quote is not meant to be an indictment of the work that Mike Lee has done on the three Nagash novels for the Time of Legends meta-series. More so since I’ve only read the first book in the series, Nagash the Unbroken. I simply didn’t enjoy it as much as I had hoped to. However, I do have to say that after finishing Neferata, which can be seen as a sequel of sorts to Mike’s trilogy, I really do want to go back and read the book, and the two books that follow it. So that’s a point in favour of both Mike and Josh. Vampire fiction in Warhammer Fantasy has a very specific vibe that I enjoy, which should be no surprise given how much I’ve enjoyed Nathan Long’s Ulrika the Vampire trilogy.
Neferata itself is an interesting book. Much like Nathan’s books, this one is told from the perspective of Neferata, one of the most powerful of Vampires in Warhammer Fantasy fiction, and this is how she comes to be known as the Queen of the Silver Pinnacle. This isn’t an origin story per se, since she is already a Vampire and has already survived for centuries. This is more of a “resurgence” story, the building up of the actual legend.
In a welcome similarity to his previous novel for BL, Knight of the Blazing Sun, with this book Josh has hit the dark, gritty tone of the setting spot on, much better in fact. Perhaps that’s also because he is writing about established characters while Knight of the Blazing Sun was, to my knowledge, about characters that he had created himself for his WHF short stories. I definitely prefer Neferata over that book. Reading about established lore characters is always a thrill since its fun to see how the writer brings his or her own understanding to these characters and how they spin them off. Reading about Neferata, Arkhan the Black, Abhorash and the others was a joy and I certainly want to read more of their adventures.

Better than the first two Nagash books, possibly because the canon is a lot more vague at this point in time, so it can't deviate as much. Neferata never really grew on me as a character, and unfortunately Abhorash (the most interesting of the vampires) was sadly underused, only appearing a handful of times and never for very long.
Master of Death is about W'soran, and I'm very excited to learn the third book is called Blood Dragon and focuses on Abhorash.
The end section was definitely the best part, and I think this series shows real promise.

Neferata is the story of a vampiress striving to carve a place for herself in a world that first demeans women and the undead in general. I am still new to the Warhammer universe, but its vast and rich lore is quickly growing on me. My favourite point of interest is her interactions with her dark brethren as they are quite distinct from one another. Each evolves in their immortality into a unique creatures depending on their experiences.
January 26, 2017
I read this before the Nagash trilogy so I was a bit lost on some of the characters but the book stands on it's own well enough. If you love reading from the bad guys' perspective then this is your vampire book.

An excellent addition to the Warhammer Time of Legends series.

Eh. I love the Warhammer world, but I thought this book only OK.
