How to screw up an audio series in one step.

Revisado: 04-12-25

I do not understand why publishers and producers end up in decision making roles, because it seems like most of them don’t have a brain. From Movies to audio books poor decisions making can kill a series, and this series is no different. I loved the narrator from the first two books, her skills as a storyteller really made these books pop.

Who ever made the decision to replace her with a 90 year old witch voice actress, that mispronounces most of the names, and has the reverb turned up too high on the usb microphone. The person that made that decision does not need to be involved in any future audiobook productions.

I will be refunding this series because of the performance.

Poor Production Decision

Revisado: 07-18-19

First off I want to say I do not blame the reader,Eric Shaw Quinn, for the decision to have him read this book. I blame Random House Audio for not bringing back the voice of Lestat, Simon Vance who has been the voice of Lestat for over 6 books. I also blame Anne Rice herself for not being more involved with her creation to notice that Random House had not only switched narrators, but hired someone that wasn't familiar with her work. I say this because Eric Shaw mispronounces almost every name in this book, to the point that I spent more time trying to figure out who he was talking about than I did actually listing to the book itself. I will be requesting a refund, and strongly suggest that Random House re-release this production with Simon Vance as the Narrator.

Great Listen, but one major Lore Flaw.

Revisado: 01-05-17

Where does Warcraft: The Official Movie Novelization rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is a really great listen, all though the reader should have taken pauses and announced chapter ends, and begins. Because what we end up with is battlefield scenes spilling over in to courtroom meeting.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Warcraft: The Official Movie Novelization?

As others have commented, the writer done a great job at adding details that were left out of the movie, even adding in moving lines of dialog for each character. But this is where he also made a mistake. Now I would normally issue a spoiler alert here but as this was not in the movie nor is it correct, I wouldn't actually call this a spoiler.

The writer added in a line of dialog, where Medivh called Garona his daughter. This is extreme incorrect. I can see where the writer might have watched the movie and got this Idea. But the fact is Garona is half-Orc, half-draenei, not half human. In fact, in the coming years, Medivh and Garona actually become lovers and he father's her child "Med'an"

So unless we have fallen in to the realm of Game of Throne incest; this line of dialog should have been fact checked before publishing.

Other than this one mistake and the lack of breaks between chapters then is a wonderful listen to any Warcraft or fantasy fan.
