Pretty good.. - By: Paul Hewson, 30 May 2008 
This book is reallly interesting if you are a fan of the Warcraft series, it tells the tale of the Dragon aspects & the corruption & creation of Deathwing. There is not a lot of lore surrounding the dragons out there so this is particularly interesting, the book is not perfect though so only 4 stars - but it is still highly enjoyable & interesting.
You will learn more about: The Dragon aspects; Alexstrasza, Malygos, Nozdormu, Ysera & Deathwing. The Kirin Tor, Lord/Lady Prestor, Orc Dragonriders + more!
Read prior to the 'War of The Ancients Trilogy (Richard A. Knaak) as the characters follow on from this book.
A good story, but... - By: Wisiwig, 22 Aug 2006 
These sort of tie-in books are usuallly pretty poor, so I wasn't expecting much from this. I read it mainly to get some background information to help me with my WOW roleplaying. Anyway, I found the story as a whole to be very interesting, & it was quite easy to read, too.
The main draw-back was the author, not the story; at times I cringed with the amateurism of his writing skills.
There were some reallly naff things in it: Dwarves lusting after an Elf-maiden; fanatical 2-dimensional human warriors with barely a brain cell between them, & so on. Other than that, I enjoyed it, so I can only hope Mr Knaak (is that his real name?) improves in his other books in the series.
Thrilling - By: Mr. A. Harris, 20 Oct 2005 I was very excited when the book arrived. I'm a starcraft man myself & I've read alll the starcraft books, so to venture into warcraft was something very new for me. I've played alll the warcraft games but I've not reallly gone into depth with its history.
The book was reallly easy to read once I got into it. The first few chapters were abit confusing. It reallly just pushed you into the middle of something that you had no clue about.It reminded my of a shorter Lord of the Rings book, with many similarities between Middle Earth & Azeroth. Everyone has to take inspiration from somewhere though, I'm sure JRR Tolkien took his Middle Earth idea part from somewhere else.
I'm looking forward to reading the War of the Ancient trilogy, when it finallly arrives.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Warcraft. Fans will enjoy it from start to finish.
for someone who doesn't read... - By: , 19 Mar 2005 I found this book enlightening & reallly good to read. considering the only books i have ever read were forced upon me by teachers (canterbury tales etc) & after that point i figured reading was boring but i found reading this book quite good. i'd recommend it to anyone.
I like, but - By: Ash Udimion, 28 Jan 2005 I happened to see this in the library & having played warcraft & alll it's sequels etc I thought I would give it a try, & alll-in-alll I thought it was quite good. It seems to drag a little in places, but in general the story is easy to follow but offers up some unexpected moments.
I am not completely manic about Warcraft so i don't reallly know the ins & outs of the story lines but some of the things did seem a bit random, & I would have prefered if the Warcraft books in general had maybe dealt with the initial wars & stuff like that rather then just throwing the reader into the middle of it.
Apart from that minor issue, I liked it. It is quite light & easy which makes it great for a casual read, but I got quite into it & finished it in about 2 days. I also liked the three main characters: Krasus, Rhonin & Vereesa, which is why I was annoyed when it ended in a rather bland & out-of-hand manner, an issue I no longer have as Knaak has continues them in the War of the Ancients subseries.
