About this listen

The peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilisation faces a fearsome race of invaders: Orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another.

As a portal opens to connect the two worlds, one army faces destruction, and the other faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people and their home.

If you could sum up Warcraft: The Official Movie Novelization in three words, what would they be?

Iv watched the movie twice and read the Durotan novel and this book was still a good read to me. It gave some real insight that the movie could not and some scenes were in here that were cut from the movie.

gives that extra bit of depth to the movie

Christie Golden has brought to life the story of the Warcraft Cinematic Universe in such a way that this read is better than the movie was. The descriptions used by Golden make it impossible to not escape to Azeroth.

Only complaint is that the narrator doesn't pronounce a lot of the names correctly, but this is something easily overlooked.

An amazing fantasy story

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I wouldn't recommend reading this book as it is exactly the same as the film

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The story needs a bit more in-depth. The story line is not developed into more depths.

What about Toby Longworth’s performance did you like?

I really enjoyed his performance his voice is pleasing to listen to.

Do you think Warcraft: The Official Movie Novelization needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I don't think it should have follow up book.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the film and I think it's a good beginning of a series. I enjoyed reading it just expected a bit more in a book than the film.

Prefer the film

Title. Not sure what I was expecting. Helped me power wash the garden, can't complain.

Literally the movie script.

Positively loved this reading, enjoyed from start to finish with minor faults. I wasn't sure whether I've been pronouncing certain names wrong this entire time or not but I felt like I was entirely tugged out of the universe and immersion everytime I heard Scott mispronounce a name I knew from lore, while this is only a minor gripe it did have some effect on my listening experience. Other than that, his portrayal of characters was sincere and well placed and I felt right amongst the action throughout the story. The book stayed true to the film it was adapted from while still adding details you wouldn't have had watching it's silver screen counterpart. if you're a Warcraft fan this doesn't quite stick to the lore established in the games but that's not an issue that can be laid at the feet of this book's.

Well spoken and clear, but butchered names.

Gives some more insight into the movie. Good for any warcrat/wow fan. Christie is definitely the Best writer when it comes to Warcraft.

Great movie better book

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

If you care about what characters are daydreaming about, how that reminded them of something that happened a week ago, reminiscing about their childhood, pondering what a raised eyebrow might mean, speculating who might be behind an opening door, how an action might affect their relationships, this might pass a few hours when you haven't got any boiling kettles or drying paint to watch.
If you've seen the film you don't need this book, and if you haven't seen the film (like me) you could be lost by the lack of story & lack of geography or physical setting - it might as well have have taken place on a barren tabletop.

What will your next listen be?

Not movie merchandise

What three words best describe Toby Longworth’s performance?

Working with nothing

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Promotes daydreaming, just let it wash over me after the umpteenth time the characters drifted off on their internal monologues

Any additional comments?

As an old-skool Dungeons&Dragons fan I thought I'd enjoy a story about orcs, but it seems the movie must have covered all the story, the visual imagery and action, this rambling novel seemed to be the dregs that are left after you remove all that.

How I'd imagine a Barbara Cartland novel to be!
