The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm by Christie Golden
5.0
So World of Warcraft: The Shattering tells the story of the lead up to "The Shattering", where Azeroth is attacked by Deathwing. I was expecting it to be about the events of the Shattering, ie the world falling apart, however it turned out to be more about the polotics of Azeroth than anything else. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't disappointed by this at all, I relished finding out more about Thrall and even about the Alliance side in Ironforge. As a Horde player myself, I have to admit, I don't know much about the history of the Alliance, and it was very interesting to find out.
Thrall realises that something is very wrong with the elements of Azeroth after a fire takes hold in Orgrimmar and as a Shaman, he finds he cannot control the flames, a dangerous runaway flame threatens to restart the extinguished fire and Thrall has no choice but to destroy it, after talking does no good. He decides to travel to Nagrand in Outland, where they have had to battle rogue elementals for a long time, and he trains to become a better Shaman.
Meanwhile in Ironforge, a new leader takes over, Moira Bronzebeard, the estranged daughter of the previous leader. Unfortunately she has different idea's of ruling than her father had and shuts down Ironforge trapping everyone inside.
These 2 stories take place separatly and don't really collide at all.
I had taken a bit of a break from WOW due to lack of time with work etc, but as soon as I finished this book, I longed to play again.
Excellently written and I look forward to reading more or Christie Golden's works.
