is good ya

Story started off a tad hard to follow in the first few chapters due to the constant need to introduce new characters, but by chapter 6 or 7, it really takes off. Once you are introduced to the characters and get a feel for the worlds happenings, it becomes quite an amazing and descriptive history of the Diablo universe.

Great story just Give It Time

This being the first book, it is admittedly slow, but having read these years ago, you will be treated to the real Diablo lore. Once guises are dropped and the real players make themselves known, it becomes one heck of a trilogy full of magic, power, lore, and gore. Knaak knows how to make a good story.

First diablo book

I always heard of diablo games but never got into them. Saw the book, gave it a try, and i feel like it did a good job introducing me to the saga. Cant wait for the next book!

Great story but narration is meh

I love the story but the narration is difficult to keep up with. Chapters run into eachother with no or little pause, you really have to pay attention but the story is worth it.

Five Stars

Waiting for Diablo 4 brought me here. I loved the book and the performance. Excellent for a fan of the games and I imagine the same for someone who hasn't played them.

Not bad at all.

Other reviewers left me hesitant to purchase, but I’m glad I made my own opinion.

Personally I find some of the voicing a little off. I am a huge Diablo fan though so listening to this at work was A+.

Great backstory to Diablo.

I read and absolutely loved this book when it first released and eagerly awaited the sequels as I do now! It took a little to get use to the narrator but as he got comfortable it got better. I highly recommend to any fan of previous Diablo books and games.

Fun!

Long time Diablo fan, finally getting around to checking out the books. I have no complaints, was pretty fun to listen to while grinding greater rifts.
