I know a lot of GW/BL fans loathe C.S.Goto's work, I loved the Dawn of War stuff and the Deathwatch series.<br /><br />Yeah, "trusting" the Eldar?

I don't count the <i>Dawn of War</i> books nor the novel <i>Warrior Coven</i> as looks into Eldar culture simply because they do not delve very far.

Eldar seem to be able to relive memories and deal with things in a multi-tasking sort of way...which is cool to see, feels alien, totally good.<br /><br />I think maybe the problem is that I'm still human and can't disconnect and reconnect like that: I need the transitions to be clearer (and this could wholly be a problem for me alone too).<br /><br />Either wayJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269727660667017348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286885805464185186.post-48034530571783248452010-06-24T10:55:30.720-05:002010-06-24T10:55:30.720-05:00Thanks for a great review.
