What are your thoughts on the WoW books?
Check out our "Books" playlist: th-cam.com/video/7HqRkYc3Yu0/w-d-xo.html
This is absolutely fantastic content. Keep it up! Picking up Lord of the Clans & Rise of The Horde for sure.
Awesome! I hope you love them as much as I do! 👍😃
I think for those who want to quit the game and not feel nostalgic or suicidal, a good way to integrate smart in your life the meaning of life, is to read the books, and not play the game ever, otherwise you always go back and It can ruin your life this addiction. but to be honest like everyone else out there, this game was a substitute to every bad thing in society, literary saved lives, some people dropped careers and people to sink in this game for lifetimes to the point of dying, it s really unique, very strange but in a good way.
Nah forsake family, embrace the never ending grind
I appreciate this guide. Coming back to it a second time to get the next one after Rise of the Horde. Really enjoyed that book!
Minha dificuldade é obter o material. Alguma sugestão para mim?
Thank you for this video. You're amazing! 👏🏽 🔥
I really enjoyed The Last Guardian, it's a bummer that Jeff Grubb didn't write more than one book.
Finding your channel a year later I don't play the game but I follow it somewhat definitely informative video I'm going to dive deep into the lore more it's just so interesting. Thanks.
Thank you so much for you guide. I just started reading Rise of the Horde. I'm in love with it. I've been reading it non stop since I started.
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying it!
Thanks for this, I've been looking for a guide to start the novels.
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video
Thanks.
Warcraft 3 story books and in game cinematic s were amazing for a young 8th grader when they were released out. So glad I got to grow up with WC2, 3 then eventually the 💉 dragon I still chase today WoW.
Bruh, spoilers.
Very cool!
Day of the Dragon was my first Warcraft novel, so it will always have a special place in my heart, but I do admit that from the point of the overall story it's kind of skippable. War of the Ancients were the first books I read in english, so they're very special to me as well. I always return to them when I feel down, and I'm still mad that Legion retconned much of what was established in them about Illidan and Malfurion. In Legion, we're told that Illidan was always overshadowed by his brother and that's why he did what he did. In the books, it was actually the other way around - Illidan was seen as the Chosen One and he was a magical prodigy, while Malfurion's powers took much longer to develop. Illidan's desperation came from the place of realizing that he can't achieve all that he wants despite all his power. Even the reason he was so angry that Tyrande fell in love with his brother and not him was that he was convinced that Malfurion just wasn't powerful enough to protect her.
Good video. I love Warcraft lore and find it very interesting. My favorite books are The Last Guardian and Arthas:Rise of the Lich King
Both great choices! Those are two of my favorites as well!
Great video, and yes Lord of the Clans is available as a standalone edition. As well as Say of the Dragon and the books in the War of the Ancient triology. The omnibuses are nice though.
Nice teeth!😊
Great vid !! Was looking forward to get some books since i m super into the warcraft lore and i feel like the game lacks some stuff. This helped a lot!
Thanks for this! Just what I was looking for :D
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Heyy..first of all.. loved the video very helpful.
So I had a question..do I need to read short stories or can I read them after finishing the novels?
You can definitely skip the short stories until you’re ready for them! They add in very small pieces or specific events to the main story.
Thank you for this wonderful work !
Read the originals 😁
Which one i should start? I just know wow recently.. please need recommendation
Start with Rise of the Horde! It sets up everything really well!
Great stuff!! So should I read them in the order you presented them on the video? Thank you!
Yes, I give them in chronological order as far as "history" goes, so it flows nicely!
Thank you for all this info! I'm just getting started on the WOW Lore and was wondering if Rise of the Horde is the first book. Google says that its Of blood and honor? I'm so lost
I've got an ESL student who is about ready to start reading at a YA level. It's been hard for me to find materials that he likes, but I thought maybe since he's crazy about computer games, maybe he might like something like this. Can you recommend anything from the series, or perhaps the Starcraft series, that would be easy(ish) to follow for an English learner? He has a decent vocabulary.
I think that Arthas would be a great one to start with! I think the storyline was mostly straightforward and so so good. And if he knows the games at all, the characters would definitely be familiar. Rise of the Horde and The Last Guardian are also really good ones!
@@DeesNerds Thank you!
Man i wish Jeff Grubb had done more warcraft fiction. I really like his writing and he's had fiction published in nearly every major shared universe. He also made the D&d sprlljammer setting.
Read "Of Blood and Honor" "Day of the Dragon" "Lord of the Clan" and "The Last Guardian" and the War of the Ancients Trilogy "The Well of Eternity" "The Demon Soul" and "The Sundering".
Just watched the movie on Netflix and the anted more. Thanks for this. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The Last Guardian was the first Warcraft book I read and it still has a special place in my heart
Thank you for this guide. Very helpful!
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
Hi, nice video. Can you share with me the name of the books behind you in the red boxes with dragon. They look amazing. Thanks!
i can buy the warcraft archive one instead of all 4 books seperatly right?
Great content and excellent explanation!! I started rise of the horde and I couldn’t stop!!
I could only wish of getting my own copies of these. Most of the books you've shown are so hard to find here in the Philippines.
If you care about lore then only read the early books. Too much got retconned through the years that for many the newer books are non canon.
Sounds great!! Where can I buy these books? Thanks a lot
Love your t-shirt 🤘
I need one that says "Audiobook Nerd" 😁
I never played the games but loved the one book I did read
I just found your channel and I really appreciate your content.
i love this video! thank you so much for this content! and love your t-shirt! :D
As a wow player i really liked this video to actually fact check everything
Thanks for an awesome list to get started on!!
Thank you for this video
A great video on the synopsis of the books, exactly what i wanted, thank you!
Thank you so much
wow nice work! this info is great to have!
Wow you are very pretty..... Nothing to do with the video, but i just had to say it :) Have a nice day! Cheers from Denmark!
That’s so nice of you! Thank you! ☺️
Thank you for this!
Ty for the video!!
Thank you!
you're awesome
Thank you it was really helpful!!!
Appreciate it! Thank you!
So I assume Tides of Darkness and Beyond the Dark Portal basically retell their namesake games - do any of these do that for Orcs and Humans and Reign of Chaos or is playing those the only way to fill in that part of the story?
The story of Orcs and Humans is basically the storyline of The Last Guardian, and Reign of Chaos would be told in Arthas. I really love both of those books! Hope this helps!
@@DeesNerds OK. Just seems like if Arthas Book is from Arthas/Litch King's perspective it's not really going to cover the whole story to the extent the game does, though it probably covers the Human and Undead campaigns pretty well. Thanks for the reply.
O like reading books and warcraft noble interest me
They’re so good! Definitely worth the read!
@@DeesNerds im from the Philippines ms Dee nice to meet you im looking for preloved books online buy putting plastic cover and when its my free time i enjoy reading it and to understand world of warcraft first i need to buy the first book which is Rise of The Horde then Last Guardian and Dark Portal
I have heard that because different authors wrote the series, even some facts are different from one book to another.
I've only read rise of the Horde and the last guardian. I'm about half way through tides of darkness. So far they all seem to line up factually.
I haven’t noticed that myself, but I could see that since some of these are older and were published pre-World of Warcraft
👍
You're cute.
Awww thank you!
Awesome video!
Thank you!
