Product Description
Months have passed since the cataclysmic Battle of Mount Hyjal, which put an end to the Burning Legion's invasion. Most Legion forces on Azeroth have been slain or driven into hiding. Yet now a mysterious energy rift in the mountains of Kalimdor propels three heroes to the distant past: the dragon mage Krasus, the human wizard Rhonin, and the weathered orc veteran Broxigar. It is a time long before orcs, humans, or even high elves roamed the world. A time that marks the Legion's first invasion of Azeroth, brought about by Queen Azshara and other night elf nobles. A time when the Dragon Aspects are at the height of their power -- unaware that one of their own will soon turn on the world he was charged to protect.

Knaak's Illiad,
By Hayes Skye Hayes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: WarCraft War of the Ancients Archive (Paperback)
This is most definitely Knaak's best work among the warcraft novels he has penned and I highly recommend it.
I would almost agree with another reviewer that Knaak is at best a Most average fantasy writer but this series invokes a bold, fresh, and exciting innovation that although is difficult to notice at first,really pays tribute to his creativity Within the context of the books, especially the latter two, KnaaK's story plays out with an odd similarity to Homer's Iliad. Knaak's take on achilles's rage is somewhat manifest in Neltharion (a character which should have had more development), the fields of troy akin to the plains between Zin-Azahri and Mount Hyal, and champions on both side of conflicts. Mind you, he does not rip from the Iliad, i am merely saying that he seems to draw inspirations from it to create a story that truly has a most epic feel. Which is befitting for this particular chapter in warcraft lore. Also of note: Knaak goes to great lengths to really expand on the framework of the warcraft lore in such a way that the book becomes most nostalgic to warcraft fans yet he retains a simplicity that allows those unfamiliar with the warcraft universe to enjoy it as well (the warcraft archive (another bookset) does not have this versatility). I was dissapointed in aftermath/end of the book. It seemed as if the author was rushing what should have been an additional 3 chapters and rolling them into 1. It's brevity downplayed the grandness of the story 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

One of Knaaks better works.,
By Jonathan T. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: WarCraft War of the Ancients Archive (Paperback)
Just a fantastic story and rich in lore for the hardcore of wow fans.The book in total is huge as it took all 3 War of the Ancients books and condensed them in this single archive, and for the price its worthy of any lore nerd. There's a rift in wow fans when it comes to the books authors and Knaak unfortunately catches a lot of flak when he writes up a new WoW book for the masses...but I feel he really hit the marks in this trilogy. A quick summary has the author writing about his two favorite characters (Krasus and Rhonin) traveling back in time with an orc named Broxigar and the three must help the Night Elven society fight off the first coming of the burning legion into Azeroth without revealing events that happen up to their present or else the future as they know it might change forever. The book feels like you're progressing through the entire event at a good pace and important characters (Malfurion, Illidan and Tyrande) to name a few feel like their stories are fleshed out quite nicely. Compared to some of the newer books Blizzard has published, this is one you'll enjoy. |
