Pretty Great

Revisado: 07-15-20

After the frankly lackluster story of a previous expansion, this book comes off as a surprisingly good read or listen. The author knows the characters well, with interesting and for the most part believable dialogue. Several of the latter fight scenes are well done, and do a good job creating stakes and building up to several satisfying endings.

The story is mostly contained, that being said, so while it might offer readers or listeners greater context into World of Warcraft's Shadowlands expansion, it's ultimately, if you don't want to experience it, skippable. Additionally, while the author goes to great lengths to include basic summations and details on the lands visited in the novel, as with many WoW stories, it's best experienced by someone familiar to the world already. It name drops often, and at points is set in iconic BfA/WoW areas and uses the associated terms. Also, as a nitpick, I did notice a couple minor spoiler-y lore inconsistencies, but nothing too erroneous.

The novel, in audio form, is over ten hours, and almost 11 hours long, so make sure you set the time aside for it. Get some of those mount collections done I guess.

The narrator is the voice actor for Queen Talanji herself, so some people may have an issue with her accent and vocal range.
To me, however, Susan Wokoma performs incredibly well, and voices all the Darkspear trolls, Zandalari trolls, and Bwonsamdi himself with incredibly authentic accents and emotional range. If that still doesn't work for you, there's always just reading it yourself.

I think, as long as you weren't a Banshee Loyalist, you will enjoy this book.
