World of Warcraft: Rise of the Horde

Good book

Although she is the author, I’m not as crazy about her performance. Would have preferred Scott Brick. Still overall it was a decent performance and a good book.

Shouldn't be missed out on

Loved it. Didn't want it to end. Gives you a nice in-depth look at the carnage back on Draenor.

Moving Performance

I love this book to begin with and was very happy to pick up an audio version to listen to at work. Not only is her writing phenomenal, but she did a fantastic job reading. As with any voice actor, there are certain parts that don't always fit the voice but every single scene with Velen was spot on. You could feel Velen's ancient pain through her words during the events of Shattrath. Her voice broke in all the right ways and really made you feel the words. I don't know how to describe it perfectly, but its a line I'll always remember, now.

awesome

great book. christie does an awesome job reading it aswell. well worth the read /listen

Let Christie tell you a story

Wonderfully written, and read by the author, this is a must read for any WoW lore fans. Told by Thrall, an unreliable narrator, this is the story of the formation of the Horde on Draenor. Some details we know to be different from Thrall's telling, but it is fascinating both from a RL perspective to see how the story evolved, and from an in game perspective to see how legends are born.

Warcraft is such a great story

Christie is by far my favorite author in regards to the warcraft books and I am glad they have released these classics

great story for a fan getting into the old lore

I have to say this was amazing. I've been getting into all the audio books on warcraft and nearly flipped out in excitement. Not only have I been wanting to read this book but having Christie Golden read her own book was perfect.

Rise Of The Horde review

Christie golden writes wonderful books but she does not narrate them the best she did and all right job but they're better narrators for the World of Warcraft books

Great lore book.

If you dont know the foundational Warcraft lore, then this book is a must. Not the most exciting book, it certainly is more character dialogue than anything. But it is performed well by the author, she does a good job with the voices throughout. Tells the story of the Orcs of Draenor, and how they went from Shamanistic and Honor driven to Corrupted and Bloodthirsty. If your looking to get into the Warcraft series and learn the lore, this is a good place to start.

A Masterpiece.

I found myself on the edge of sleep many times I has listened but did not want to fall to its clutches, So continue I did thus I did not sleep much during my time with this book. My only petty criticism is that the Words of Thrall were not spoken by Chris Metzen himself who voices the Character in Game and for whome Mrs. Golden dedicates this work to. As I begin the journey deep into the lore of a universe I hold very dear, it is with enthusiastic ears and a hungering desire that I look forward. I look forward to not only the next Book by Golden but the next book which shares a universe so vividly brought to life by such a skilled author.
