"This Is Not a Book to be Tossed Aside Lightly..."

Does Deathy have a recommendation for getting into reading the WoW books to learn about lore that won't involve the book sailing through the air?

Well, if you'll take my rec, Lord of the Clans is not too bad. It's got timeline issues (all the books do) and it's contradicted by later books in ways that make me facepalm sometimes, but it's easily the best read of the Warcraft books.

I like the short story "Of Blood and Honor" too, about Tirion Fordring. By happy chance it's in the same anthology as Lord of the Clans.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Deathy hates to say it, but... if you want to know what happens in the books, the best bet is probably to check WoWpedia and see if they have a synopsis.

That way you get the basic idea without being exposed directly to the terrible writing.

Hmmm...okay. Thanks for the suggestion.
