This book is absolutely wonderful. It’s basically canonical fan fiction and I absolutely love it. The author portrays the characters exactly as I imagine them. Also the way that she plants the little seeds of foreshadowing for Shadowlands makes my little writer heart so inspired. The only real gripe I have with this book is that I just wanted more! Highly recommend for any fan of the Warcraft universe as this is a great addition!

Given various reviews I’ve seen and heard, I expected this to be a rip-roaring story full of good fun. But while it certainly has its moments, it largely feels like a plan for a great book, a summary, or even a rough first draft. It lacks a lot of detail in the action, resulting in a very hand-wavy form of storytelling. Many of the characters’ individual storylines are good in general but still lack enough detail to really punch home. It’s too bad. This book has so much going for it in terms of lead-in and follow-up lore that it should have been excellent. Instead, it’s so-so.

Honestly a breath of fresh air to welcome in the new expansion. Madeleine Roux absolutely handles the story and characters with such grace and care, Susan Wokoma is a fantastic narrator and does an awesome job! Highly recommend every WoW player to check this out before Shadowlands releases, or after, either time is a great time for this book!

Are you kidding me?? BLIZZARD? Do you not listen to the fans or even this audiobook? This is horrible! It’s like my sister reading me a book… why not the last narrator or Scott Brick? Who approved this for production?? This is not how you start a new chapter. God this is awful.
