Reviews

[Eric Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

This short little wrap up of the saga of Nagash is more epologue than anything else. It deals with cleaning up a few of the situations that were left unresolved at the end of Nagash Immortal and while its certainly not a necessary read its a good way to wrap up the story.
