A nice surprise was lots of women in high ranks in Raynor's army.
This is basically Raynor thirsting over Mutated Kerrigan and Im here for it lmao

This was billed as the novelisation of the Zerg campaign from the original game (with Liberty's Crusade being covering the Terran campaign). However, there was a bizarre mix of adventure with James Raynor, and the conversations of the mission briefings from the games that Raynor somehow always manages to listen in on. Very little focus was on Kerrigan. I must confess as to being a little disappointed to begin with.
That is until about halfway when the Protoss turn up, leading to some brilliant scenes with Tassadar, Raynor and Zeratul. From this point on, the story really became engrossing as it deals with tackling ingrained prejudices and fills in certain gaps that show Tassadar's change from stalwart Executor to the compassionate and powerful being that goes on to destroy the Overmind. Despite lacking very much action, these were fantastic scenes that genuinely added so much to the StarCraft world. By the end of the book, I'd forgiven the weakness of the start and got such a drive to play the game again I've already played through the Terran campaign since finishing the book.
I would have liked more scenes from Kerrigan's point of view, but as she's a much simpler character than her more recent incarnations in StarCraft II have been, it's not a major complaint.
