I was excited for the new cypher book but I read a review that stated it was only 180 pages but it’s the price a novel. So I’ll just wait for someone to do a video on YouTube.
£15 for hard back and £10 for digital or audio is ridiculous. Don’t tell me the price of binary digits has gone up aswell.
I’ve fallen into this trap a few time buying their digital books

Ya I fell for it dident check the page count. It showed up today. It's barley a novella. I will check page count in the future. Not paying full price for a novella.

Could be worse. The final Garro book was £18 for hardback with 144 pages.

I've listened to it and I enjoyed it. (Audible for the win).
But as for novel or not what's it word count?
If the word count is between 60,000-110,000 then it is classed as a novel. A novella is typically around 50,000 words from the industry standards.

Oof, my sympathies guys. I've certainly been there on the AoS novels end, not a fate I'd wish on people

I chose an avatar I feel best represents the quality of my post history.
I try to view Warhammer as more of a toolbox with examples than fully complete games. |

Plus it was an awful book. Barely had a narrative.

I was extremely disappointed by it.
The final Sisepheum gang novella was better and I really didn't enjoy that either.

GW price hike for less product? I'm shocked!
It's pretty easy to find it online if you're desperate for it. There's usually discounts on smaller providers and alternative options entirely free.

Yeah I've been suckered too. BL has been really good about digital availability, not so good about pricing.
