3.0 out of 5 stars Average, 8 Dec 2005
By Mr. L. Parker (Manchester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book will give a lot to people who like the game, but as a fantasy book it can be a little weak.

Rather than being an entertaining read its more a point of interest for those who have played the game and want to know more. That said it is a thousand times better than the poor excuse for literature that is 'The Day of the Dragon'.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Part Of The Trilogy, 20 April 2004
By A Customer
This is the fisrt part of a trilogy and i must say that it is a good firstpart.
This book has alot more action in it than Richard A. Knaak other book the"Day Of The Dragon" but only in the later chapters but it is a good buildup to that.
The book features Rhonin the human mage, Krasus an ancient dragon/mage andBroxigar an old orc looking to die a glorius death in battle. Tounderstand Rohnin and Krasus better i suggest reading "Day Of TheDragon".
This book also has alot to do with the first coming of the Burning Legion,how the Night Elves are involved and how the future changes even thoughthe main characters shouldnt change it because it may ruin there owntime.
Anyway im surprised this is a trilogy because it seems like the first is acompletely separate story to what i think the rest will be but hey i cantwait till the next book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bland and Uninspiring, 10 Aug 2008
By George Chernikov (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As an avid World of Warcraft player, I was rather looking to picking up Richard Knaak's trilogy, mainly because I was interested in all the lore and background, but also because I heard quite a few positive reviews about his Dragonlance novels.

Unfortunately, while the trilogy fully satisfied my craving for the former, it was an utter disappointed in terms of the latter. Knaak's writing isn't just horrible - it's downright atrocious, to the point where you honestly start to wonder whether the book was dumbed down to suit a more juvenile audience or whether it really takes that little to become a NYT bestselling author. Character exposition is, well, exposed - there are absolutely no subtleties and Knaak has no qualms about reaching into his characters' heads and presenting their most complex motivations with just a few lines. His description of Broxigar's survivor guilt was so bland and in-your-face that it made be cringe. At no point does Knaak ever leave you guessing about his characters or asks you to think for himself - explanations for even the most complex emotions are presented in an oversimplified, overexposed manner that literally leaves nothing to imagination.

Bottom line is, if you like World of Warcraft and want to familiarize yourself with its lore, then by all means read this book. If, however, you just finished reading the Wheel of Time or Song of Ice and Fire (I'm not even mentioning LOTR), please, do yourself a favor and give it a miss. Your literary taste will thank you for it.

Or, to put it differently, if you thought Terry Goodkind's earlier SoT books were the masterpiece of literary talent, then you will most likely enjoy Knaak's WoW books.
