This is a captivating book that tells Vol'jin's Story between the assassination attempts and Garrosh's downfall in an engaging manner. Stackpole succeeds in making the plot easy to follow, which makes for an enjoyable read. Particularly impressive is the balanced portrayal of Vol'jin and Thyratar, as Well as the collabaration between the Horde, Alliance and Pandaren. The seamless continuation of the in-game storyline from "Mists of Pandaria", especially with reference to the Isle of Thunder, is remarkable. Overall, this book definitely rangs among my favourites.
