World of Warcraft Chronicle Volume 4 Hardcover – July 16, 2024

These chronicles are a good and fun way to catch up on all the lore of WoW. With so many expansions, it can be hard to learn all of the lore which is why I wanted to buy these books. Happy with my purchase and my kids have even been interested in reading them.

Excelente producto, sellado, 100% recomendado.

Perfect

It was very interesting reading.

Excellent printing and binding. A nice heft that makes it feel wonderful in the hand. Compiles lore that was introduced during Mists of Pandaria, Legion, Warlords of Draenor, Battle for Azeroth, and Shadowlands.If they continue this pattern, expect a 5th Volume to be published sometime within the next 6 years that will cover the lore and events of Dragonflight, The War Within, Midnight, and The Last Titan expansions.

Love all the wow novels and chronicle books. I love learning every single piece of lore of wow.

Arrived on time. My fiancé was so excited when he saw it!

The quality of writing here is a distinct drop from the other Chronicle volumes. Personally I don't even much mind "canonizing" some changes to game continuity, but as others have pointed out, there are quite a few grammar and syntax errors as well-- referring to WoW's player characters literally as "the players" being only the most obvious offense among quite a few others. It genuinely feels rushed, as if it was hardly proofread. Characters and locations that haven't yet been mentioned once unceremoniously pop into events without any introduction. Annoying little writing habits like reusing words and turns of phrase too frequently pull me out of it every time.From a story and world-building perspective, it's a slog to get through at parts. Where the earlier volumes that covered the events of the RTS games into early WoW painted a picture of a wide world with many things happening at once, Vol. 4 describes WoW expansions with the least amount of imagination. It reads very nearly like a list of dungeons and raids, and the players are one singular mob moving zone by zone, patch by patch, through each expansion's story. You can almost feel the outline just beneath the writing, which is no doubt how we ended up with notes like "the players" slipping through.All a bit harsher than I intended, but basically this just feels rushed. Tough to recommend.
