Great story. Narration was ok.

The narrator did an excellent job with Jaina's voice but all the other voices were strained and difficult to listen to. All in all it was a great story.

Jaina delivers!

What made the experience of listening to World of Warcraft: Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War the most enjoyable?

It is oddly wonderful to see Jaina, who always plays the goodie two-shoes diplomat, really go off the rails. After the destruction of Theramore, Jaina is hellbent on the complete annihilation of Orgrimmar. (Yes, there are civilians and even an orphanage there; she doesn't care.) The magical battle between Jaina and Thrall (arguably her most kindred spirit in all of Azeroth) is shocking and epic. The love story between her and Kalecgos is believable and overdue for her storyline. All of Jaina's past "relationships" have been questionable, if not utterly horrific--Kael'thas, Thrall, Arthas...Talk about unlucky in love!

Lots of solid Warcraft characters span the pages: Thrall and Kalecgos, as I've mentioned; Anduin and Varian Wrynn make short appearances; Kinndy Sparkshine, Tervosh and Pained in Theramore; and Vereesa Windrunner and Rhonin. There are also a number of familiar locations: Tidefury Cove, Theramore, Northwatch Hold, and Fray Island.

The Horde, of course, complete the puzzle with their own cast of characters, most notably Garrosh Hellscream, Baine Bloodhoof, and Vol'jin. You can very much sense how trapped Baine and Vol'jin feel by Garrosh's increasing madness and megalomania.

What other book might you compare World of Warcraft: Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War to and why?

Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War is the best Christie Golden novel that I have read in the Warcraft series. I loved her style first in Rise of the Horde. And, frankly, I prefer her style to Richard A. Knaack.

What does Justine Eyre bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Justine Eyre had quite a feat ahead of her narrating Garrosh, Baine, and Vol'jin and she did it well.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was getting bored with the War of the Ancients Archive, so I skipped ahead to Tides of War due to the release of Mists of Pandaria and it's scenerio for Theramore. Now, I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment of the Warcraft novels! And it's inspired me to read Wolfheart and Stormrage ASAP.

Loved it!

This story really shows you Jaina's struggle with the fall of Theramore. Full of emotion and pain and you see as Jaina shifts her entire perceptive on peace. I completely recommend for anyone interested in learning more about World of Warcraft and Jaina.
