Good book
Finished this reading it in my free time - I love the wording sounds like a troll is speaking to you telling you a grand story.

Good stuff
I am tempted to give it 4 stars merely for not exploring every single zone, but that is because of the current state of affairs after Battle for Azeroth. Otherwise, it's a fiver. I don't think some if the reviewers read the same book. I think I should address some of those complaints.Upset that Gazlowe, is referring to an employee or outsider that he thinks less than as "owning them"? He is fictional goblin, in a barbaric land, that comes from a cartel that relies on influence and has also named himself Trade Lord. Also, he is a tiny creature speaking to a large creature, he needs every advantage; speaking loudly and cruelly is a tool that he would definitely use.Upset that Rohkan, one of Rexxars oldest friends, tells Zehkan to read something to Rexxar because Rexxar is still working on his reading and writing? Rexxar lives in the wilds and roams the wilds; reading and writing is not something he would be focused on. Rest assured, he does write something further down the page with perfect spelling and grammar. And then again in other parts of the book.Upset, the Horde seems a little or even a lot on the rough side? That's the appeal. When you have 2 deposed warchiefs commit atrocities and the initial Horde had been founded on conquest and war; they are definitely kind of bad. They are at the very least, complicated which basically means that good deeds they have done have been mirrored by bad deeds they have done as well. So, see them as rough or complicated but know they are basically a step above evil from some other points of view, especially Alliance.Upset the Trolls talk the way they do? Warcraft Trolls have been created this way and have been "speaking" that way for 30 years. It's no different than using other accents including, Scottish, Cockney, Eastern European or New Jersey/New York. Accents have to be written differently in order to hear the accent while reading; this includes vowel placement and slight variations of words to emphasize their corresponding sounds. Remember, words are spoken before they are written.Complaining about racism? A story that is centered around conflict between 2 factions that happen to have members from many different races, isn't racism. Not to mention that the story directly follows those same factions ending their war and making a tentative peace; again, also not racism. Maybe, its species-ism? Are we faulting Orcs for banding together and killing Humans? Sure, we could... I do. If someone happens to like Orcs which subsequently like killing humans are they a bad person? Maybe you feel like a bad person or maybe the book makes you feel like a bad person for wanting to kill humans? Then there is the important part to remember is that Orcs aren't real, but if you are comparing them to a certain "race" of humans in real life then the book isn't racist, you are.A review mentioned the Dark Portal being incorrectly dated to 10,000 years ago. However, the only mention of "10,000 years" was talk of the Well of Eternity (which would of been the first legion portal aka dark portal). There was also no actual mention of a dark portal. This wasn't in the Eastern Kingdoms book either as the Badlands and Swamp of Sorrows wasn't even visited by anyone in these books.Sometimes it is apparent that people disparage things for reasons they don't understand or just simply to provide criticism. Maybe it seems constructive to them?

Lok'tar, Friends- this lore fangirl loves it!
Please ignore the negative one star reviews. This book is a testament to the dedication that the behind the scenes folks strive for. By that I mean the lore masters, they maintain and craft canon knowledge into an enjoyable experience for us to delve further into.At first I read this as from Rexxar's point of view: the grizzled veteran of the Horde, staunch protector, who maybe doesn't always agree with the warchief's plans but believes in the Horde as a whole people. Then, I started reading about Kalimdor, my home away from home in Azeroth, as from Zekhan's perspective: relatively new to the faction but appreciative nonetheless of who came before me. I remembered how I felt when I first played World of Warcraft all these years ago, dazzled by the fantasy and fiction of it all.Yet, even though this is fiction, the memories it evokes in me.. transcends all other versions of the history that I've consumed before now. It really is a great treat to read this from Loremaster Sean Copeland's perspective & I believe it deserves more respect than the initial reviews gave it.Plus, it's just really pretty and shiny on my shelf!

Surprisingly Good
I didn't think I would like this one, cause I'm more of an alliance player, but I ended up loving it.The way it tells you the lore is cool because there's a small underlying story as the writer goes through each land. It actually got me a bit emotional in the end, which I really didn't expect. The lore was interesting and the illustrations really nice. Big improvement over the alliance one
