I've never played the game Warcraft, but was a little familiar with the concept and storyline. However when the live action came out I was intrigued. I didn't watch the movie right away, but when I finally got around to watching it I enjoyed the film. While it is a bit campy, it an enjoyable campy. So when I found out there was a prequel novel to the live action movie I was intrigued to see what it was about. The noel fallow Durotan, the main Orc you fallow in the live action movie. The prequel novel tells the story of how Durotan became chieftain, and how his clan joined the Horde. The novel gave insight and background to Durotan and the Horde while also making them amazing characters to fallow and watch grow. The heartfelt interactions between the Frostwolves and humorous moments together really built sympathy for some of the Orcs and there situations. Enjoyed and flew through this prequel novel.
