The War of the Ancients

Today I thought I'd continue my book suggestions with another selection from the warcraft universe.  This time The War of the Ancients trilogy by Richard A. Knaak.

The War of the Ancients, consisting of The Well of Eternity, The Demon Soul, and The Sundering details the first invasion of the Burning Legion in Azeroth.  Brought to Azeroth by the hubris of the Night Elves, the mortal races of Azeroth must stand together under the leadership of a few familiar faces to prevent Sargeras from entering their world.

Having some previous knowledge of the warcraft universe will make this read more enjoyable, but don't let that hold you back.  You might miss a reference or two from another book, but it is still worthwhile.  I was unable to put these books down when I started to read them, it consumed me.

tl;dr: Awesome books, go read.

Day of the Dragon

Been reading alot lately and thought I'd share a few good books over the next few day that you won't want to put down.

To start things off I'll start with the book that got me all caught up in reading again: Day of the Dragon by Richard A. Knaak.  

If you're familiar with the warcraft universe, you'll absolutely love this book.  If not, don't let your lack of knowledge hold you back as Knaak does an excellent job of introducing the characters and lore in this rich world.  The story follows a young, maverick mage who undertakes a seemingly impossible task to rescue a dragon with a few unlikely companions helping along the way, all the while, being manipulated by a malevolent force.

The book is fairly short and well worth your time.  It will leave you wanting more, and luckily there are plenty more books set in this universe to fill your desire.

tl;dr: good book, go read
