When the world of Azeroth was young, the god-like titans brought order to it by reshaping its lands and seas. Throughout their great work, they followed a magnificent design for what they envisioned Azeroth would become. Although the titans departed Azeroth long ago, that design endures to this day. It is known as the Emerald Dream, a lush and savagely primal version of the... World of Warcraft.
Many are the mysteries surrounding the Emerald Dream and its reclusive guardians, the green dragonflight. In times past, druids have entered the Dream to monitor the ebb and flow of life on Azeroth in their never-ending quest to maintain the delicate balance of nature.
However, not all dreams are pleasant ones. Recently the Emerald Nightmare, an area of corruption within the Emerald Dream, began growing in size, transforming the Dream into a realm of unimaginable horror. Green dragons have been unexpectedly caught up in the Nightmare, emerging from it with shattered minds and twisted bodies. Druids who have entered the darkening Dream lately have found it difficult -- sometimes even impossible -- to escape.
Nor are these the Nightmare's only victims: more and more people are being affected. Even Malfurion Stormrage, first and foremost of the druids on Azeroth, may have fallen victim to this growing threat. As uncontrollable nightmares spread across the world, a desperate quest begins to find and free the archdruid.
Soon nature's enemies will learn the true meaning of the name.

Amazing story, Terrible Narration

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Maybe someone who has never heard any of the names in Warcraft lore pronounced appropriately would enjoy this? It's not Knaak's best work, but it's likely an enjoyable story if you can get through it. I had to quit half way through because the narrator ruined it for me.What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The lore was what interested me. I'm a long-time player and fan of Warcraft lore. I've read and/or listened to almost all of the books - some of them more than once. So I wanted to like this audiobook.How could the performance have been better?
As others have pointed out, the narrator mispronounces so many of the names that it became incredibly distracting. I should have paid more attention to other reviewers who brought up this point, but I thought, "how bad can it be, really?"Bad.
Distractingly, cringingly bad. And that on top of the constant mangling of practically every name he encountered, I really disliked how he reads female character parts. It was not the absolute worst narration I've heard, but it was right up in the top (bottom?) 3 of my list.
Any additional comments?
I will probably get a hardcopy cover of the book to read, to finish the story, as I'd like to finish it.The narrator really ruins it

I wish I had the same feelings for the narrator. Their delivery felt bored, and unimaginative. It reminded me of an annoyed parent reading the 20th book to their child, hoping they would stop asking for another story, and fall asleep. This, however, is not my main complaint; it's jarring to hear names of characters, and places mispronounced so terribly. It got to the point that I dreaded when the story went back to Teldrassil as just to name one example. Most, if not all, of these mispronunciations could of been avoided if the narrator had done proper research on the source material. Like, how do you so badly mispronounce Sylvanas when she's a very popular and important character to the lore? Over all, the narrator almost killed my enjoyment of the book, and lost it a whole star.
Poor narration, great story.
