Book Reviews of WarCraft Archive
Book Review: "Kagh! Bin Mog g'thazag cha!" This set is fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
This archive, which includes the following four books: Day of the Dragon, Lord of the Clans, The Last Guardian, and Of Blood and Honor, is simply superb.
Let's start with the first book Day of the Dragon. Day of the Dragon was a interesting story of adventure and danger as the heroes venture into Grim Batol. It includes the wizard Rhonin, elven ranger Veressa Windrunner, and of course the Dragon Mage Krasus. The book does a good job explaining the motives and ideas of each character, which helps you to relate to them. This book is great as a standalone book, but it would be advised to have some knowledge of the background. I award this book of the set 4/5.
Next is Lord of the Clans, which to me, was the best written of all the books. Lord of the Clans follows the story of Thrall as a child, and how he is raised and eventually learns of his true destiny. The author does a fantastic job of helping the readers relate to the struggles of the Orcs. "Kagh! Bin Mog g'thazag cha!" Once you learn the meaning of these words, it really gives you a sense of understanding of the honor the Orcs once had. Whereas in Day of the Dragon, the orcs are seen as the vile enemy, I found in Lord of the Clans I was cheering on the Orcs hoping they would succeed. 5/5 for this one.
The Last Guardian is next up. This book is mainly just lore. If you have no interest in Lore, I would find this book quite boring. For me, I was somewhat interested so I enjoyed it. It follows the mage Medivh and gives the background of his character. Compared to Day of the Dragon or Lord of the Clans, which each had its own story and could survive on its own, The Last Guardian cannot. The characters in the book weren't very well thought out, and some characters I really couldn't care less to learn about. I feel the author rushed this book. 3/5 for this one.
The last, and shortest of them all is Of Blood and Honor. I expected this one to be quite shallow as its only about a hundred or so pages, but man was I wrong. The book was great. It follows the events of the Paladin Fordring as an unexpected act of kindness by an orc sets in motion a chain of events that would change his world. I award this 5/5 with my only complaint being that I wished it was longer.
Overall, I give this product 5/5, because with all 4 books in one big one for such a low price, its a steal. The Lord of the Clans and Day of the Dragon easily make up for the cost, so I took this as me getting two free books! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to learn more about the Warcraft world, or for fans of the Fantasy genre of books. Overall, GO BUY THIS BOOK(s)!
