Can't say I was much impressed by this book. The writing was better than some of the other World of Warcraft novels, but not spectacular. There were some ties with previous Warcraft novels and graphic novels (which is something I like to see), but I had hoped for more ties to the story presented in the game itself - and those were very limited. Characters were, for the most part, fairly one-dimensional, and the plot felt spontaneous, without long-term foreshadowing or overarching themes. All in all, an alright book.

There really wan't anything I enjoyed about this book.
The same problems I had with Knaak's earlier books are prevalent in this one as well. I don't know what his obsession with referring to people by their relationships to others instead of by their name is, but it really bugs me.
Too many characters with similar names causing me to get them confused and others with unpronounceable names to stumble upon.
There was also not much to relate this book back to any previous lore. I had no idea who a number of the characters were until a part of their back story was weakly woven in later on in the book.
The story was quite dull, and I really didn't care about the outcome.

This book was fairly decent, it had some parts that seemed to draw on, losing some of my interest through out. If I'm to be perfectly honest, the book itself didn't really get good until the last 4 or so chapters which....is kind of disappointing.
The author kind of made fighting sequences seem....odd? I suppose I mean that in the sense that it was very, 'x punched, THEY MISSED! They kicked, right in the jaw!'
