Resumen del Editor

Though the young Warchief Thrall ended the demon curse that had plagued his people for generations, the orcs still wrestle with the sins of their bloody past. As the rampaging Horde, they waged a number of devastating wars against their perennial enemy - the Alliance. Yet the rage and bloodlust that drove the orcs to destroy everything in their path nearly consumed them as well. Long ago, on the idyllic world of Draenor, the noble orc clans lived in relative peace with their enigmatic neighbors, the draenei.

But the nefarious agents of the Burning Legion had other plans for both of the unsuspecting races. The demon-lord Kil’jaeden set in motion a dark chain of events that would succeed not only in eradicating the draenei, but would forge the orc clans into an single, unstoppable juggernaut of hatred and destruction. An original tale of magic, warfare, and heroism based on the best-selling, award-winning electronic game series from Blizzard.

For the Horde (spoiler free)

As someone who fell in love with the stories of Azeroth, I was even more taken by the story of the beginnings of the Horde.

If you’re new to Warcraft lore, this is an excellent starting point. Meet the characters who birthed the heroes we know today in the game and witness their choices, both good and evil, that lead toward what we see today in the game.

Brought life to the story of the horde

let me just say, wow. excellently written, spoken and acted. This reading truly brought me into draenor, right into the heart of the horde. I truly felt like a frost wolf orc looking at my doom. This reading brought life to my favorite game

A lot of fun

A good read, and was insightful into some backstory leading into Warcraft one, and the ending leading into the burning crusade.

Very enjoyable

It was nice to have some history to one of the world's greatest mmorpg's.

Amazing, just one issue.

The story, the writing and details are top notch, i appsalutly love it. The only problem i have is the narration by Christie Golden is very good it falls short because of the female voice telling a story in the perspective of male orcs, it's almost comical to hear her try to use a deep male voice, yet it is still a great performance.

great origin story

kind of a prequel to the first warcraft game, and a great origin story for the orcs.

Best Warcraft Book

One of the best books I have ever read. Explains the Horde's origins. Christian Golden is the best Warcraft author.

great addition

loved thralls take on this and the understanding about the orc world. I kept saying do something do more.

Good story performance was okay.

I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the story but sadly I must say the narrator not one of the best of all the World of Warcraft books that I've listened to. I have all the respect in the world for Christie Golden as I love her stories in the way she writes but I will admit her performance in reading it not quite as good as many of the others but I am still very happy that this book finally came to audiobook, I would still recommend.

Sweet

Great book! Christie is an amazing author. Would've preferred a different person to read the book though.
