SPOILER FREE

World of Warcraft: Cycle of Hatred was written by USA Today Bestselling Author, Keith R.A. DeCandido. It’s a novel based on the fantasy game created by Blizzard Entertainment.

Summary: Cycle of Hatred takes place after the Burning Legion has been defeated. Though pease is loosely held in place by an Orc named Thrall – the War-chief of the Orcs and the human leader of Theramore – Jaina Proudmoore.  In this tale we focus on the Humans and Orcs living amongst each other in the land of Kalimdor.  In the shadows, a cult long thought destroyed has resurfaced with its members serving allegiance to the demon called Zmodlor.  The followers are a mixture of both Human and Orc, setting things in motion to crumble the already too fragile peace between the races.

Character:  The characters were all written well. I enjoy the accents some of the characters were give, some authors really can’t deliver on that, making it too confusing,,, but not DeCandido. Each character severed their equal part in the tale. I really look forward to further adventures with Thrall and Proudmoore.

Overall Review: The writing style is perfect for this story, it’s not deluded with too much action and it doesn’t fall short on the plot. Can Thrall and Jaina ease the tension and establish a lasting peace between their people? I suggest you get this book and find out! This book was great! It was a quick, exciting, and easy read. It has sparked a new addiction in collecting books in the World of Warcraft series. I didn’t feel like I needed to know anything about the World of Warcraft to understand anything in this book. It’s a great standalone book and left me wanting even more!

Rating: I give this book a 4 out of 5
