The first of the Warcraft Legends manga (& the first Warcraft manga that I’ve read), this was a fun little volume with four separate stories.

1. Fallen — the story of an undead Tauren that started in Warcraft: the Sunwell Trilogy (which I have not read but now want to!), this is continued in the second volume. 3/5 stars; I was not thrilled by the small amount of story we were provided in this volume. I also don’t enjoy Knaak and how overly purple his prose is. It’s just annoying rather than elegant.

2. The Journey — 4/5. SOB STORY, have your tissues ready!

3. How To Win Friends — a cute story about a misfit gnome and how he helps save Kharanos from a troll invader and thus makes friends! 4/5 stars.

4. An Honest Trade — 3.5 out of 5 stars. Another emotional rollercoaster slash morality tale. It was the morality bit that aggravated me but at the same time, the context in which it was being told was quite clever.

Note: I am a WoW player and have been for over a decade. I’m not sure how much anyone who is unfamiliar with Warcraft/the WoW universe would enjoy this manga.

this was a cute book, fun to read but sad at parts. i'd like to get a hold of the next volume as soon as possible! (mainly my inner geek just enjoyed the lore/geography references)
