The Order by Nate Kenyon

algorithminflux's review

5.0

An excellent read for anyone interested in Diablo lore. Made references to each game's events, and satisfyingly so. Yet another successful expansion into the Diablo universe.

Obviously a tie-in for the Diablo games, but works ok even if you are not already familiar with the franchise. Deckard Cain is an interesting main character with his flaws and lack of self-confidence, though his doubts are brought up so often it gets rather repetitive in the end. The other characters range from cool to inoffensive, and the plot is moving along steadily with a few interesting twists. All in all an enjoyable enough read if you are in the mood for some dark light reading.

The problem with this book is that the climax is pretty anti-climactic (as you're supposed to play the game to see how it all ends). It is a good compendium and precursor to the game, however.

It's a nice book, that keeps the reader in the same immersion and feeling you get when playing the Diablo videogames. It's not a Horror or Lovecraftian story as I was imagining earlier, but it's a fine "preparation" for those who wants to play the Diablo 3 videogame. It sets everything for Cain Deckard and Leah, introducing another two important characters that will be very important to the game plot.

Rápido de ler. Pura diversão. História bem amarrada (se bem que não precisa de muita coisa para se amarrar histórias em Santuário)

Mostra que o Deckard Cain serve para alguma coisa além de dar palpites. Mas não para muita coisa.

Mikulov é o mais legal. Pena que não houve a bela luta que eu estava esperando.

Recomendado para quem curte o jogo (todos esses já devem ter lido)
