Stormrage, has hit the shelves bringing about World of Warcraft lore. Stormrage is not to be confused with the approaching Cataclysm series being released that details the events leading up to the expansion. Instead Stormrage is a look at the modern events mostly focused around Tyrande Whisperwind, Broll Bearmantle,and Malfurion Stormrage along with the sickness and corruption that has plagued Teldrassil.
The Important details that include Malfurion's return, tons of plot lines that had no resolution or were open, tons of character cameos like Naralex (Wailing Caverns) and Renferal (Alterac Valley),and the corrupted green dragons added long ago (Lethon and Emeriss) that were once open world raid bosses.A lot of detail went into the book to make sure it felt completely connected to the World of Warcraft universe and it shows.
There are some characters you may not be familiar with like Broll Bearmantle and King Varien (as he appears in the outside media) which are from World of Warcraft: The Comic. Sorry Valeera fans, she's only mentioned a few times.
The book also suffered words that didn't need repeating as much. For example,"orbs"instead of"eyes"and the overact of"macabre"could ruin the immersion momentarily for some.If you're someone who likes to read and loves WoW then this wouldn't be a bad choice to throw into your pile of books you want to read.
