World of Warcraft: Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects

One of the better WOW books I have read.

WoW!Spoiler freeSeriously, wow. Best World of Warcraft book I have read yet. Even bests the WoW book Arthas. Christie Golden's Writing is so good here I was just left speechless. She manages to take the Cataclysm expansion of the WoW MMO and make such a well thought out, provoking, character driven immersive story that I immediately reread it after finishing it the first time though.Let me say I hate the Cataclysm expansion. I hate it. It drove me away from wow. It destroyed my guild. Half of whom quit. The story seems nonsensical, the world and lore in my opinion really did have a cataclysm. And I wanted nothing to do with it any more. But I have read several of Mrs. Goldman's books and have always loved her work and so I gave this a try. It seriously made me want to give Cataclysm and the World of Warcraft another try. It's just that damned good.It just brings everything together. It takes a very famous character (Thrall) and adds new layers of depth to him. She introduces new characters so well that I immediately care about what happens to them. No death in this book feels empty. She created and epic quest. A journey. And she nails it spot on.The only complaint I have with the book is the final big bad Character reveal. It just felt rushed and shoe horned in. You really have no idea who is character is or why the heck they are doing this. BUT! But, that doesn't detract from the story in a major way. I only wish there was an extra chapter or two to flesh this plot point out. Honestly though, she has created such an epic tale here that I feel that any and every World of Warcraft player should read this.Blizzard should mail copies of this book and her last Cataclysm based book "The Shattering" (buy it and read it before this if you haven't already) to every subscriber who has bought the newest expansion of the game. She redeems the lore of the expansion. She redeems the lore of the World of Warcraft.Buy this book if you're a fan of WoW. Buy her books if you're a fan of great story telling.Please buy this book.

Really nic book...

Since Christie Golden released Arthas: Rise of The Lich King I have become a fan of her books and since these aren't avalaible in the UK they are well worth the read!I'm a big World of Warcraft player and my biggest love is the Lore side of the game and Christie delivers the Lore perfectly and helps tie up any loose ends like this one fits in just before patch 4.2 Rage of the Firelands.People might say she drags out some of her descriptions but it helps the reader visualise the story. Thrall is one of my favourite characters in the WoW world and Christie you have done it again! I look forward to your next WoW bookWorth the read guys

Happy with purchase
