‘Shadows Rising’
We’re all set to visit the new zones inWorld of Warcraft’s Shadowlandsexpansion“this fall,” but before then, Blizzard is keying things up with another novel: the physical edition was released yesterday.
This one is appropriately titled “Shadows Rising,” and deals with the Horde versus Alliance drama fromBattle for Azerothas they set aside their differences to battle Sylvanas. The most interesting beat here is just how the Horde is dealing with Sylvanas’ betrayal, with its various factions semi-splintered. Meanwhile, Sylvanas’ forces are off to try and kill a God.you’re able to find an excerpt hereand see if you’re interested!
Not allWoWnovels are created equal (and a few are even controversial), but several of them provide pretty interesting backstories on the world at large. It’s a potentially long wait until the next expansion hits, so I may pick this up to tide me over.
