Summary: I loved this book
Comment: It's been awhile since I've read this book but it's still fresh in my mind. I remember all the great battles and many of the little things that one would pick up throughout the novel. I've read a few of Knaak's other books and this is definitely up to par with those. There are a couple of things that you would have had to play the game to understand but overall most of the story is new to Warcraft. For those of you that don't know, Warcraft is a role playing game for the PC. It takes place in a fantasy world of men, wizards, elves, and dwarves.
The book kept me reading to the end. Everyday I would bring it to class and every chance I got I would read it. I just couldn't put this book down. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good fantasy novel. If you've played the game then you should definitely read this book. It expands on everything that was built up in the game and even makes up some new stuff as well. I guarantee that as soon as you get a couple chapters into this book you will not want to put it down.

Summary: Much better than I expected¿
Comment: I approached Day of the Dragon doubting that the book would be that great, so reading it was a pleasant shock. I expected to find a rather generic fantasy plot, (but it was Warcraft, and so I was seized with a mad curiosity.) Knaak brought some new ideas to the realm of Azeroth, but I think they fit in well. I will not accept all of them as concrete Warcraft lore, but that is because it is my favorite game and I formulated many opinions about the world while I was still playing it. The plot was much more involving than I expected, and it kept me glued to the book better than many books I have read recently. The story was also more complex and intriguing than I had hoped, although it started deceptively simple, and looked like it was going to contain an abundance of cliches. (Most of which were eventually avoided with plot twists.) I recommend dragging out the old Warcraft manual with the maps before you start reading. The book draws heavily on your knowledge of the individual kingdoms, but it provides no map to help those who do not have their own. Also, I think it might have been better off without any sort of "love" between the main characters, but that is nitpicking (plus it has been covered by previous reviews...) I recommend this book to any avid Warcraft fans; I doubt very much that you will be disappointed. It is enjoyable on its own as well, and not knowing much about the game should not hinder your understanding of what is going on.

Summary: Must read for a Warcraft fan
Comment: It may make you a little lost in the first one third of the book, but it turns out really really nice plot. Can't miss it.
