Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War

Good worth the buy

Si eres fan del juego, te gustara el libro. Si no lo eres la historia igual vale la pena si te gusta la fantasía. De hecho prefiero leer los libros y el "lore" que jugar.

This book does a really good job of telling Jaina's story and role in World of Warcraft. I would reccomend to anyone who plays or is just interested in WoW lore. :)

Auf den Inhalt selbst möchte ich gar nicht eingehen, um niemanden den Lesespaß zu nehmen. Denn das Buch ist einfach ein Hochgenuss. Die Geschichte ist, wie immer, spannend und detailliert erzählt, ohne zu ausschweifend zu werden. Aber vor allem sind die Geschichten von Christie Golden stets fesselnd - man möchte einfach nicht mehr aufhören zu lesen, um zu erfahren wie es weiter geht.Kann jedem Fan der (World of) Warcraft Reihe nur empfehlen das Buch zu lesen. Es gibt einen schönen einblick in die Geschehnisse rund um Theramore. Wer Jaina kennt dürfte wissen, dass sie zu eine der wenigen Allianz Mitgliedern gehört, die sich auch mit der Horde anfreunden können. Dementsprechend überraschend ist es, dass Jaina eine Chance nutzen möchte um die gesamte Horde zu vernichten - den Grund für diesen plötzlichen Wandel Ihrer Sinne, sowie Ihres Aussehens, erfahrt ihr in diesem Buch.Kurz um: absolute Kaufempfehlung! Und als nächstes kann ich nur "World of Warcraft: War Crimes" empfehlen!

Recap: Read it, one way or another. Much better than other WoW books with Alliance characters in the front and center. It's not only an achievement for Golden, it opens a much less predictable storyline than "Oh no! A dragon! Let's kill it!"TLDR: I love to read WoW lore books, but I'm usually pretty dismissive when it comes to quality. I don't kid myself that they will be paragons of prose. I have always found WoW books with an Alliance character as the main character to be *especially* lacking, other than The Last Guardian. And Golden in particular has been the last on my list of WoW authors.What a difference 329 pages makes! This is a terrific book. I have many friends who read it in one sitting of a few hours but I forced myself to stretch it out over a week or so to keep the entertainment going. It's a great plot and good character development. I like Thrall more than ever, and Aggra is slightly less annoying to me now. Heck, she's cool.FINALLY, FINALLY Jaina Proudmoore has a fully-rounded personality! She is more than the milquetoast, out-of-touch, upper-crust, semi-hippie living in her ivory tower sipping tea and dreaming of the day the Horde and Alliance will lay down arms and coexist peacefully. She's been stuck in the aftermath the death of her father and brother and her character development has moved forward very little. From start to finish Golden did a wonderful job finally giving Jaina teeth and a memorable storyline; I finally take Jaina seriously as a mature adult instead of a dewy-eyed idealist.The book is a huge achievement for Golden and in my opinion a much more compelling than Cataclysm: The Shattering, and not only in terms of Jaina's character development. It's not only an achievement for Golden, it opens a much less predictable storyline than "Oh no! A dragon! Let's kill it!"

Per gli amanti di Warcraft "Tides of War" è un prequel perfetto all'ultima espansione, Mists of Pandaria, inquanto parte delle tensioni tra le due fazioni, Alleanza e Orda, scaturiscono dagli eventi narati nel romanzo. Vi emozionerà con epiche battaglie e momenti davvero tristi, non perdetevelo!
