Just finished this one today and I have to say it was a great read. The characters are sort of two dimensional and predictable, but the story is very gripping!
"The Skulltaker is a feared champion of Khorne, a lone warrior of hideous strength and power who roams the Chaos Wastes slaying all who stand between him and his destiny. Blood for the Blood God tells the tale of this terror of the north and his gory quest to be free of the curse inflicted by the Blood God, Khorne. Can anyone defeat him or will the Wastes be drenched in the blood of fallen champions?"
The only character that I grew attached to was Dorgo, the son of Hutga Khagan chieftain of the Tsavags. You can't help but cheer for him as he and his band of tribesmen set out in search of a way to save his tribe from the Skulltaker, by trying to reforge the legendary sword of Teiyogtei, the bloodeater, deep in the Chaos Wastes where not time, but emotion and thought, are the only realities.
You should give it a try if you like books about war and desperation. You won't be dissappointed!

Is this one of the Warhammer books you like to read?? It sounds like I would get sucked in, and I like how you word this... "if you like books about war and desperation, You won't be disappointed." I've never tried any of them but you just made me want to!
War and desperation are what most of the Old World Warhammer books are about. Hanging on by the skin of your teeth and overcoming overwhelming odds.
"Khorne is the Chaos God of blood, hatred, violence and war. He acts outwardly by seeking the deaths of others, preferring close combat over ranged weaponry, and the only things he respects are strength and martial prowess."
From Wikipedia.
I have yet to read anything from the Warhammer fantasy universe. Some of the books that you have told me about sound gruesome, but interesting.
