Review:I have tried a few different novels from video games. They usually don't feel complete, mostly fluff around not very compelling dialogue.
This was a very pleasant surprise. Grabbed my attention from the first page, and couldn't put it down.

Any fantasy fiction reader will enjoy this, but WoW players absolutely must read before Warlords of Draenor drops this fall.

I am off to get the rest of Christie Golden's books!

Happy reading! Read more

Review:Sticks to the Burning Legion timeline. Adds the Deming Hunter twist and the plot ability to turn Illidan into a future ultra good guy.

Overall a good read. I take a star away because I felt it focused to much on Maiev and her vengeance. Which again... we all know from Burning Legion and a previous book. Read more

Review:World of Warcraft: Rise of the Horde was written by New York Times Best Selling Author, Christie Golden.

SUMMARY: This book is somewhat difficult to breakdown into a brief summary. I will do my best and not drop any spoilers.

Sergeras, the Dark Titan and lord of the Burning Legion, has corupted the eredar, a race of powerful magic wielders. Sergeras promised power to the eredar leadership in exchange for their peoples bidding on the world of Argus. Two of the three eredar accept t... Read more

Review:Once again, Christie Golden knocks it out of the park. She does such a great job at character development! I could not put this book down! Just a few chapters in and I had to re-sub to World of Warcraft. No spoilers, but this book doesn't have a whole lot of action. Which, would normally bum me out, but Christie does such a good job with the writing that I honestly didn't care and it didn't dawn on me till I was well over halfway through the book. Whether you are either a fan of Horde, Alliance ... Read more

Review:This book is quite a good introduction to the warcraft universe as it touches upon the original warcraft rts and world of warcraft. My biggest problem is that it glosses over some of the key battles and events. Read more

Review:This book was absolutely amazing. it not only followed the in game story line, but pulled me in like any of Chtrisy's other books on wow lore. GREAT BOOK. a definite recommendation. i just couldn't put it down!! Read more

Review:Just want to preface this with one major detail: This is not meant to be in continuity with her other book, Rise of the Horde.

I didn't realize the detail above when I first started reading it, and as an avid reader of the WoW novels and lore, I almost threw the book out the window after reading just the first chapter, so many details had changed. I did, however, come to realize a new perspective: If you read it as a retelling of the *Legend* of Durotan, the essence of the story remain... Read more

Review:With "Steven Pressfield" on the cover, it took less than a heartbeat for me to grab this book--after "Gates of Fire," I was more than eager to be caught up again in the author's enthralling prose of storytelling.

Even with the author's Note on the Reader expressly stating this as a work of fiction, I soon found myself actually believing that it really was Alexander speaking his own thoughts--what he felt as he emerged from the shadow of his father, as he tasted the first of his numerous v... Read more

Review:Steven Pressfield has made a cottage industry of the historical novel in much the same way as Michael Shaara. Historical fiction offers wondrous advantages to the writer---after all, who needs to generate story ideas when the lives of our forbears offers all the triumph and tragedy we need?
Pressfield debuted in the genre with the marvelous "Gates of Fire", his account of Spartan King Leonidas' last stand at Thermopylae. With "Tides of War", he returns to ancient Greek history, this time re... Read more

Review:This book is worth every good word written about it. It reads well and spends time on its characters, developing them fully. This is a credible book on war and shows us how personal and terrible war really is and how political. I enjoyed reading this book and will look for other books by Anton Myrer. Read more
