Dark news arrives in Jainas beloved city, Theramore, One of the blue dragonflights most powerful artifactsthe Focusing Irishas been stolen, To unravel the items mysterious whereabouts, Jaina works with the former blue Dragon Aspect Kalecgos, The two brilliant heroes forge an unlikely bond during their investigation, but another disastrous turn of events looms on the horizon,

His attack will irrevocably transform Jaina, engulfing the ardent peacekeeper in the chaotic and allconsuming, . . TIDES OF WAR Shattered. That's my only reaction at the end of this book, I am a huge Jaina Proudmoore fan and wanted to see where this adventure would take her,

I have read several Warcraft books: Rise of the Horde, Of Blood and Honor, Arthas, Lord of the Clans, Stormrage, The Shattering and The War of the Ancients series, but this has by far been the most memorable

Jaina Proudmoore is a cool headed alliance diplomat.
Her

choices again and again have made her a friend to many of the horde and to the alliance, In this book though, none of this makes a difference as the current warchief of the horde, Garrosh Hellscream is still trying to take the horde in the direction that it was before Thrall had formed the new horde.


Golden has captured perfectly the frustrations of an intelligent, gifted woman who is caught between her ideals and political reality, And when one action from Hellscream is so beyond all imagination, it changes her idealism forever,

The characters of Kalcegos former aspect of the blue flight and Baine are woven masterfully into the story as well, An appearance by Varian shows his changes since the Shattering and seems to bode well for the future of the alliance,

What I did not like was Garrosh's character, The same orc that threw a subordinate off a cliff for a similar crime committed it, Trying not to give away spoilers I think there's a definite reasoning to WHY this has happened and can't wait to play through it in game.


I cried through this book though, multiple times, The scenes are well written, the characterizations, amazing and the romance is woven into the story without feeling forced, My favorite warcraft book yet! Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War World of Warcraft, Christie Golden

تاریخ بهنگام رسانی هجری خورشیدی ا, شربیانی Christie Golden is a great World of Warcraft author, She gets and understands the setting and really develops the characters within it to a believable extent, I love her Jaina Proudmore, I also love her development of Kalecgos, who I started liking with the Sunwell trilogy manga, This book did a great job setting up the Fall of Theramore scenario and has me anxious for Mists of Pandaria,

As a side effect, however, I no longer want to play my Horde characters, Besides now having a deep and abiding hate for Garrosh, I'm utterly disgusted with the Horde as a whole, including Baine and Vol'jin, And I'm totally over Thrall and Varian, I wanted to like this book, I like Christie Golden as an author, She's typically easy to read and the story flows well, And those things are essentially true, The problem, for me, is everything else,

I think the main flaw in the book is that it seems like she is essentially being told exactly what to write and can't deviate from the outline.
Things that I think that would've added some backstory is why Garrosh is starting to go batshit crazy, Who is Malkorok And while WoW as a game might explain some of these, for a casual reader, they are left in the dark,

The conclusions drawn seem to be weak, For example, and it's been said before, Jaina is put in her place by Thrall, Varian, and then by Kalecgos, Her anger is not sated even though the object of her hatred is essentially right in front of her,

And actually that's probably what upsets me the most, With Garrosh within striking distance and basically all but defeated, he gets away scottfree, along with Malkorok, And that's what Jaina, even in her pacified state was going to Orgrimmar to do, It makes zero sense other than Blizzard wanting Jaina involved in the war and them wanting a batshit crazy Garrosh as warchief of the Horde.


Again, I don't put this blame on Christie Golden as an author, because I feel that the plot behind this is all Blizzard driven and done to get people to play the game for more answers.
And personally to me, that is just bad prose, poor form, and not interesting, I think a good book is written to be a good book, with strong characters, strong plot, and strong conclusions, What I felt we got were characters that got weaker, weaker plot points, and even weaker conclusions, Though well written, which I think is a lot of kudos to Golden, it just smacks of classically bad Blizzard, And it's done the reverse for me, Instead of making me want to pick up WoW again, it's confirming my reasons for quitting, "A really good, fast read, Christie Golden knows her Warcraft and knows it well, She has an amazing grasp on the woman and what exactly is going on inside her head, Tides of War is at its core a story of transformation, of accepting that all things, be it beliefs, standards, or friendships, will inevitably be tested.
It's a story of uncertainly trying to find a place in a world that seems to have no place for you, be it as a diplomat inexplicably standing for peace in a time of war or a flight of dragons with no purpose.


It's also the story of an orc gone terribly, terribly wrong, one who has learned precisely all the wrong lessons from his father and it's the story of a Horde being torn apart by his decisions.
It's the story of a leader who stood at a crossroads of potential and chose to lead by threats and fear rather than understanding and compassion.


And it's a story of loss, of grief so utterly overwhelming that it threatens to devour the soul, The grief of a leader whose kingdom is wiped out in an instant, the grief of a woman who sees with stark certainty the pointlessness of the path she's chosen, the grief of a daughter who finally understands the words of her father, entirely too late to do anything about it.
It's a tale of learning to cope with that grief and rise above it, a story of coming to terms with a chaotic world, and learning to adapt.
It's a beautifully written Warcraft novel, and I can't recommend it enough, " anne stickney sez it better than I can!!,
