Many expected an action-packed novel to preface Cataclysm, but instead what Golden has delivered is a powerful, character-driven story. Joe wrote an in-depth review of the novel, which we published on the main portion of the site.
Here is an excerpt:
Christie Golden is back again with another Warcraft novel. She has written such books as Lord of the Clans, Rise of the Horde and Arthas: Rise of the Lich King. The Shattering is an exploration of the events that lead up to the great cataclysmic return of Deathwing to Azeroth. With a title like The Shattering, you would expect it to be overflowing with action and combat. The truth is, though, that it does not. Instead the story really revolves around giving us some very deep insight into the various characters involved in the story of Azeroth, both new and old. What really drives the story here are the politics of the world, and the personal relationships between characters.There are many retellings and synopsis of the story available all over the internet, and so with this review I would like to try to avoid that. This said, the review will contain spoilers, so please be warned. The events contained in this novel are considered cannon to the lore and development of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.
