Good story, interesting insight to warcraft fans , short though leaving you to wanting to know whats next. Hoping for continued episode or sequel if any.
4 Stars Outstanding, provisionally…
Mr. Metzen’s ‘Of Blood and Honor’ is a stirring tale of a paladin’s struggle between duty and honor. It is also a metaphor for racial hatreds and the blind injustices that sometimes result. I found this short tale charming and immersive.
A quick note of caution. This being my first Adobe e-reader format e-book purchase, I was disappointed to discover that the ‘permissions’ (or lack thereof) make the book unprintable. Also, the download is registered by both the server from which it is downloaded and by the e-reader software on the computer to which it is downloaded. Ultimately, what this means is:
Make sure you are willing to read this only from a monitor. You also cannot make backup copies, nor can you download the book again if something goes amiss (although I’m sure with a quick e-mail, Amazon.com will hook you up).
Technical media issues aside, the book is worth the price. Enjoy it.
4 Stars Overall Well Written
Blood and Honor was very comparable to Day of the Dragon, the other Warcraft book. The character of Fordring and the inner turmoil he faces are very well developed and the impact that his decisions have make for some wonderful plot twists. The book does a great job at foreshadowing more to come and there’s even some surprise visitors in the book! Probably my only complaint and this is minor is the appearence of certain characters in the novel that I had believed something else had occured to them in the games. This is maybe a little picky and doesn’t detract from the overall story, just thought it was interesting. I highly recommend this book, it’s a quick read and keeps those epages turning!
4 Stars Enjoyable Romp!
I thorougly enjoyed this story. The many diverse creatures and the battles makes your blood pump quickly when all hell breaks loose. If you like war books of a fantasy slant, then you’ll like this e-book
Another good e-book I’ve recently read is The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt. This e-book/paperback is a good read with many battles, though not so much in the way of exotic races. But, still, it has battles, gods, magic and gets right to the good stuff by the end of the first chapter. If you like epic fantasy, you’d like that one too.
