I really wanted to like this one, but it was my first ork centric read and I might not have realised what I got myself into. The ork way of speaking, while amusing in short bouts, turned out to be really draining to read longer conversations in, possibly not aided by the fact English is not my native language. This really took away from my enjoyment of this read, and I really struggled to get through the first half of it.
Credit where credit is due, though, when the story picked up in the second half there was some amazing character development and an amazingly narrative that somehow gives a glimmer of light to the grimdarkness. It was fun following the little guys, too, where a lot of warhammer books focusses on the big hitters. 
all in all, not a bad book, perhaps just not for me.
