Orcs and humans. Angels and devils. North and south. Harmony and discord. Heaven, Hell, and Secret Cow Levels, Stay Awhile and Listen, book two, continues the saga of the two Blizzards - Blizzard Entertainment, creator of the groundbreaking WarCraft series of strategy titles, and Blizzard North, architect of Diablo's digital hellscape - as both studios struggle to find their identity and forge a path forward.

Threatened by competition in the space they popularized, Blizzard Entertainment looks to the stars to build a new franchise and evolve into a well-oiled machine. No longer the underdog, Blizzard North takes Diablo out of murky dungeons and across deserts, jungles, and snowy mountaintops.

Success comes at a cost. Corporate greed threatens to overshadow artistic breakthroughs, new talent throws company cultures into flux, and a passion to be the best result in brutal work schedules, broken relationships, and creative burnout that incapacitates visionaries and leaves their teams directionless.

Weaving together the making of best-selling products and the crucibles of the people who made them, Stay Awhile and Listen: Book II tells the story of two teams that formed an unstoppable juggernaut, even as they proved too combustible to coexist.

For both Blizzard and Blizzard North fans alike, these TWO books uncover so much of our beloved game studio's thoughts, developmental processes, antics, and involvement with one another. From the humble start of Condor and Silicon & Synapse to Blizzard North and Blizzard "South", and finally the bitter, crashing, and controversial end of the post-Diablo 2 years & era.

There's so much content in these for me to indulge in and enjoy, these books are constantly on my yearly audiobook rotations.

More Than Just Diablo's History

I loved the first book and have waited years for the follow up to cover my all time favorite game. This book has a much better structure than the first(not reintroducing the same characters with their full name and title multiple times a chapter) and is more suited to an audiobook this time around. The Narration leaves a lot to be desired. Well read and engaging but a lot of mispronunciations especially when it comes to place and character names in the story or run of the mill fantasy terms like ‘magi’. This is a far cry from the first where the narrator even nailed a Deckard Cain impression when quoting the title.

Great Story, Decent Narration

Here we go, finally! Part 2 of a story that really deserves to be told! Thanks so much to author David L. Craddock for putting this history together.

Amazingly well researched.

But now it’s the fall instead or the rise. Buckle up for more drama than you can shake a stick at.

Just as fun as the first
