After finally reading the new dark elf book I am pleased with the new fluff. Overall I think Matt Ward did a fantastic job.
The good:
-The dark elves feel more powerful in the fluff and more of a threat to Ulthuan.
-I love the new see battles with Lokir Fellheart. It shows the strength of the dark elf fleet.
-Morathi got an interesting backstory with Tyrion and I like it. Double crossing Malekith to be double crossed by Hellebron.
-Malekith got a better background. I love the battle with Slaneesh and the reference to the warp. He feels more powerful then before.
-Better view of the political schemes and loved the fluff about the 8 dread lords having the power if united to defeat and overthrow Malekith.
The bad:
-I felt the numerous crazy sacrifices to khaine a bit over the top. Sacrificing half your army to get a blessing doesn't sound like a great plan.
