An excellent novel, not just for fans of the Warcraft series, but for others as well. The story is gripping and intense, and also makes you empathise with the characters once you realise their motives and plans.



As a Warcraft fan I found this to be an extended preview for the upcoming expansion, Legion, and was intrigued by the different points of view through William Kings story telling expertise. Exploring the emotional stress through which Illidan struggles day in day out was one of the most interesting consistent themes, and kept me hooked. The Vandel chapters, a demon hunter in training, also filled in gaps in the lore as to how the demon hunters came to be and where they went etc. Although at first I felt like these chapters were going to be dull and with little content, as Vandel is a character that is only introduced during this book, I found myself pleasantly surprised throughout the chapters when learning of the eternal struggle that these demon hunters experience.



All in all this was a most enjoyable book, however I can't rate 5 stars due to a few miss types that ruined the flow of the book (for example there were a few cases in which "what" was typed as "hat").
