À propos de cet audio

An all-new official prequel novel to Shadowlands, the next expansion for Blizzard Entertainment's legendary online game World of Warcraft.

"The Horde is nothing!" With those infamous words, Sylvanas Windrunner betrayed and abandoned the Horde she vowed to serve. The Dark Lady and her forces now work in the shadows as both the Horde and Alliance, including her own sister, Alleria, race to uncover her next move. Struggling to shoulder the crushing weight of leadership, King Anduin entrusts the void elf and High Exarch Turalyon to uncover Sylvanas’s whereabouts.

The Horde now stands at a crossroads. The various factions form a council, leaving the mantle of warchief to rest. Thrall, Lor’themar Theron, Baine Bloodhoof, First Arcanist Thalyssra, and many other familiar faces rise to this new challenge. But the threats are numerous, and the distrust runs too deep.

When the council is derailed by a failed assassination attempt on Talanji - the Zandalari queen and a key ally - Thrall and the rest of the Horde leaders are forced into action. They empower the young troll shaman Zekhan, still grieving the loss of Varok Saurfang, with a critical mission to aid Talanji and help uncover the rising threat against her.

Meanwhile, Nathanos Blightcaller and Sira Moonwarden have been tasked by the Dark Lady with a terrifying gambit: to kill the troll loa of death himself, Bwonsamdi.

As Zekhan and Talanji work to save Bwonsamdi, their journey will be a key turning point in bolstering the Horde against the coming darkness and finding themselves along the way. Failure to save their allies and the trickster god will surely doom them - but through success, they may rediscover what makes the Horde strong.

Susan Wokoma does a great job narrating this book, I love WoW content and this makes it easy to listen to at work

Great Work Susan!

Well written and performed. I didn't love the narrators voice for Thrall and a couple other characters but that's nitpicking. Great purchase, and I can't wait for Shadowlands.

Love it.

I felt a little lost in the beginning. It took a bit to really get into the story.

The narrator was excellent! She did a great job switching between characters.

Not Bad

A fantastic story, and great game tie-in, all delivered with an amazing performance. Roux and Wokoma both deliver!

Awesome!

The narrator is friggin' brilliant at trolls and less so at the rest. Jaina's accent was decent too, which begs the question why Jaina can have the correct American-style accent but not some others who ought to as well. And she definitely has trouble with lower registers that characters like Thrall and Baine should have. This might be too much for some who really want the narration to match closer to the canon, which is understandable, but if you can accept that for the duration of the story, it's an enjoyable tale. And since Zandalar is the main focus here, I can understand why they went with someone who can do trolls properly. Definitely this book is well suited for those interested in them. Zekhan is his usual self, so if you like him (which I do), he's adorable. Bwonsamdi is Bwonsamdi, enough said. Talanji does her best, and gets over herself when she has to.

On the Alliance side I found the progression of Flynn and Mathias' bond less solid than I'd hoped--oddly, their reactions once the plot separates them are much more the kind of thing I like, it's just that the lead up didn't quite earn the payoff... in my opinion anyway. I'm probably too used to fanfiction on that front though--but fanfic aside, their short story on the website is also quite lovely so I guess the canon Flynn/Shaw stuff is, like fanfic, variable in quality.

Mostly I got what I wanted out of this, as the first WoW book I've ever read/listened to, which is a tale grounding the stuff I saw in the game a little better than "oh hey go do some WQs".

Good fun read

I enjoy hearing about the character development of the various main story horde and alliance characters, but I found I had to backtrack often, as the voice acting made it difficult to focus fully on the story. Thrall, Lillian and Rohkan come to mind when writing this review, I would’ve hoped that they’d have a voice actor that wouldn’t be so hard to listen to.
I do not mean to offend the VA, but she would do much better in different rolls than the ones she preformed for this title.

Mixed feelings
