Summary
An all-new official prequel novel to Shadowlands, the next expansion for Blizzard Entertainment's legendary online game World of Warcraft.
"The Horde is nothing!"
With those infamous words, Sylvanas Windrunner betrayed and abandoned the Horde she vowed to serve. The Dark Lady and her forces now work in the shadows as both the Horde and Alliance race to uncover her next move. Struggling to shoulder the crushing weight of leadership, King Anduin entrusts the void elf and High Exarch Turalyon to uncover Sylvanas' whereabouts. The Horde now stands at a crossroads. The various factions form a council, leaving the mantle of warchief to rest. But the threats are numerous, and the distrust runs too deep. When the council is derailed by a failed assassination attempt on Talanji - the Zandalari queen and a key ally - Thrall and the rest of the Horde leaders are forced into action. They empower the young troll shaman Zekhan, still grieving the loss of Varok Saurfang, with a critical mission to aid Talanji and help uncover the rising threat against her.

A bit slow
Some great follow ons in terms of key character stories carrying on from the previous book but there are periods where not much happens. some areas of the narrative are well developed where some were lacking.

Not as good as some of the past books I'm afraid
good narrator but a poor choice sadly for this book, accents off so felt un-immersive.

Good but could be better
narrator was good but the book itself could have been better, Christie golden would have been a better fit for writing this as it seems like she understands the warranty universe better.
Still worth a listen

Shadows are definitely rising
A novel well worth reading if you currently play the game. I was very invested and enjoyed the book. Certain mentions and interactions of characters I didn't expect were definitely the best part.
Only negative I can think is the mispronounciation of some words by the narrator (Lich King was said as Linch King once for example) and some of her male voices kind of take me out of the story sometimes. Her female voices are absolutely excellent though, especially Talanji
Bwonsamdi is involved heavily in this book, which I absolutely loved. He's my favourite character in the Warcraft universe and the author writes him absolutely perfectly. Zappy boy gets great writing too
I've seen some people say Talanji is out of character, which I also thought at first, but the further you go, the more you realise she isn't

I just could not get into this.
I really didn't enjoy this book, pace was poor and the story not gripping at all.
Struggled with the accents and didn't feel connected with the characters.

Mediocre story, even worse narrator
One of the worst WoW books in recent history, with a narrator performance that makes it even worse. Gives off the impression of trying too hard to impersonate the characters, while failing utterly at it. Also, the story is a jumbled mess of continuity errors with no narrative structure or thought put behind.
"Mediocrity" and "forgettable" are the key words here. As well as "refund". Don't waste your credits.
