Uneven effort from this author [Posted on 2008-12-29]
First off, I really like Richard Knaak as an author, and I love the Warcraft books in general. However, this book seems really rushed, and the plot suffers for it.
Pluses:
-Knaak has given us some great characters, and its fun to read about their contining adventures.
-Fast paced story. I was able to knock it out in no time. The story keeps moving without any slow sections.
Minuses:
-Weak plot. All the characters were brought together haphazardly.
-Typical plot devices are used. Knaak suffers from the same issue that Tolkien had with Gandalf in LOTR. He created a character powerful enough to pull the protagonists out of any situation, but in doing so, he has to create reasons that character isn't always there (or is weakened) so they don't always save the day.
-New characters are 2 dimensional. didn't care about 'em at all. Very simplistic backgrounds and motivations.
On the whole it was a good book, and I will read the next one in the series, but I hope it's a little better thought out.
