Publisher's Summary

When the world of Azeroth was young, the god-like titans brought order to it by reshaping its lands and seas. Throughout their great work, they followed a magnificent design for what they envisioned Azeroth would become. Although the titans departed Azeroth long ago, that design endures to this day. It is known as the Emerald Dream, a lush and savagely primal version of the... World of Warcraft.

Many are the mysteries surrounding the Emerald Dream and its reclusive guardians, the green dragonflight. In times past, druids have entered the Dream to monitor the ebb and flow of life on Azeroth in their never-ending quest to maintain the delicate balance of nature.

However, not all dreams are pleasant ones. Recently the Emerald Nightmare, an area of corruption within the Emerald Dream, began growing in size, transforming the Dream into a realm of unimaginable horror. Green dragons have been unexpectedly caught up in the Nightmare, emerging from it with shattered minds and twisted bodies. Druids who have entered the darkening Dream lately have found it difficult -- sometimes even impossible -- to escape.

Nor are these the Nightmare's only victims: more and more people are being affected. Even Malfurion Stormrage, first and foremost of the druids on Azeroth, may have fallen victim to this growing threat. As uncontrollable nightmares spread across the world, a desperate quest begins to find and free the archdruid.

Soon nature's enemies will learn the true meaning of the name.

Decent

The only problem is that the names of some characters were so bastardized and mispronounced that it on several occasions almost made me stop the book entirely.
Would of taken 5min if research to find the proper way to say their names

narrator blows

I'm not asking alot but he says alot of the names wrong . You think he would like up how to pronounce things. Other narrators of previous wow books figured it out.

Good story, odd choice in narration

Excellent book. Bad narrator. "Ar-thaws", "Crash-us", "Sill-van-aws". Doesn't know Warcraft. Hard to get lost within the words when someone butchers the words.

Did no one review the readers work?

have the physical copy but listen to audio books at work. I enjoy this book, I do not however understand the choice in reader. I hate calling people out on terrible work but consider that many of the names he butchers are in the games. Perhaps also ignorance on my part but every time he said anything bade or forbade he would pronounce bad instead of bay. I have no doubt the reader did 0 research. I should of read the reviews sigh...

Decent read. Disappointing performance.

Not some of Knaak's best writing, but it's good. Narration and performance was very disappointing.

Misleading title

You would think this is a story about Malfirion Stormrage based on the title, but I would argue that it is not.

Here is my synopsis. Malfirion is basically in a coma, his friends are who this story is about. Everyone on Azaroth are succumbing to sleep and getting trapped in The Nightmare, and unable to be awaken. as the main characters try to figure out what is happening they begin to fall victim to the sleep as well but narrowly manage to escape the nightmare. This takes place chapter after chapter after chapter, it gets really old.

It's hard to be concerned about anything that happens because nothing is real. Every character experiences personal doubt/regret/torment only to realize they are being manipulate by the Nightmare. Again this happens several times a chapter, and in every chapter, and gets really tiring.

The book tells you several times how Malfirion is over 10, 000 years old and you hear from the main characters about all these other events he has been involved in that sound like way better stories than the boring uninspired story being narrated to the listener.

Apparently Malfirion is the only one that has the power to save Azaroth? Not even the great dragon aspects are able to resist the nightmare and become its servants. There is just so much other implausible stuff in this book as well.

Really struggling to finish this one. Malfirion is finally an active character with 5hrs left in the book and has nothing that makes him different from the other characters. Every single character in the story is exactly the same. None of the characters have personally.

Sadly I have nothing positive to say about this story

Not my favourite WoW audiobook

The storyline was pretty interesting, but not my favourite of the WoW audiobooks I've listened to thus far. It was somewhat meandering and hard to follow, but I love WoW lore so there was still a lot of good stuff here.

The voice acting is what really held this back. I was trying to get past the narrator's voice - I didn't like the sound of his voice, nor how he voiced certain characters such as Hamuul Runetotem-, but once he started butchering the pronunciation of key character names like Sylvanas and Xavius, it was lost for me.

I like audiobooks for my commute, housework, or mindless in game grinding. But if you have the time and interest a hard copy might be better

Good story, some issues with performance.

The story was good, but it really takes me out of it every time a name or location is mispronounced, which is far too often. I don't think it's too much to expect that they actually check how to pronounce names in a book like this.
