Currently, there is significant dissatisfaction in regards to Knaak's writing styles and talents among the Warcraft player community.

In fairness however, established characters such as Malfurion and Tyrande still do the main events in the story. A number of players go so far as to refuse to personaly acknowledge Knaak's books as viable lore in spite of repeated statements from Blizzard indicating that the books are canon.
Trivia
Knaak's favorite classes are mages, paladins, and warlocks. His favorite races are humans, tauren, and night elves.[1]"
He has bad taste.
