new book spoilers

[Arrashi]

I would love to see thoughts of those two about amberstill ranch.

[bagina]

How can this be spoilers when it doesn't tell anything new?

[Eazy]

What book? It isn't from the shadow rising, is it?

World of Warcraft: Exploring Azeroth: The Eastern Kingdoms

In-universe guidebook written by Mathias and Flynn.

[Super Dickmann]

Flynn and Shaw are a lot less stilted when written by Golden than by Roux for whatever reason.

Though you can tell it's Golden by how 2/3rds of the Tirisfal text is about Arthas's horse.

Ahaha. The -only- thing worth knowing about Tirisfal is that Arthas used to be in those parts.

What s dumb book.

[Rhlor]

I like the valuation that is made of lorthemar

[Ardenaso]

so what's the someone he knows?

[Krothar]

What's dumb about it? It's world building and quite sweet

Because its like saying "And here we have America. It's where Donald Trump buys his suits."

It's a book about exploring the Eastern Kingdoms and making most of the entry on Tirisfal about one person is kind of dumb.

[Aucald]

I like the rather lighthearted tone after the general doom and gloom of BfA in general. Flynn's liner notes and asides are also humorous - this will likely be an enjoyable read when it comes out.

I am entirely here for Shaw and Flynn squabbling in the footnotes. Frankly I'll buy it just for that. It's just too cute and funny.

[Krothar]

I am shocked the most popular warcraft character got talked about a lot

Yeah but this book is meant to be in universe where most people kind of hate Arthas with a passion.

I'm honestly tempted after seeing that. It's pretty nice to see how they gave character to the book instead of making it just a boring guide.

[Varodoc]

So it's confirmed that Tirisfal is still in Forsaken hands, yes? This was all recorded by Shaw and Flynn after the Fourth War? So much for the Alliance's "revenge for Teldrassil".

[Powerogue]

Oh my god.
1) Flynn now has a pet parrot named Matthias
2) That's clearly Matthias's notes in the margins. "You beautiful but ridiculous dolt." Oh my stars.
3) This is the first we've seen an alliance character discussing what a douchebag Garithos was.
4) I love the grandiose description of Lawbringer armor, aka the Bananadin set. Man, it looks so much cooler in the concept art.

Definitely getting this book.

Naming a parrot after your boyfriend - that's a mood.

Here is Tirisfal Glades, Lordaeron’s version of Westfall except with giant spiders and the Forsaken stinking up the place.

Better?

Well if the job was to make the former seat of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the place where the people of Quel Thalas arrived on their way from Kalimdor, a sight of myriad tragedies and secrets seem less interesting than my toenails, you did a stellar job.

[Raisei]

Reminds me a lot of the similar Star Wars books "Path of the Jedi" and "Book of Sith" which were in-universe lore explanations with an in-universe commentary by their respective owners. i.e. Luke commenting on Palpatines ravings when he found the "Book of Sith" after the Emperor exploded with the Deathstar, or on the old Jedi Order teachings when he found the "Path of the Jedi" in Obi-Wans hut.

These pieces are nice and immersive so this book will likely be too. And we do have the premise of non-omnicient authors writing as a given, so people do not have to debate it's canonicity. It is canon but it is also biased and limited.

But of course I know several people on this forum who will take one look at the cover and decry what a bad book it is solely because it is written by Christie. Oh well.
