The Well of Eternity: Blizzard Legends

World of Warcraft: War of the Ancients, Book One

By: Richard A. Knaak

Narrated by: Ramon De Ocampo

In the first chapter of this epic trilogy, the outcome of the historic War of the Ancients is forever altered by the arrival of three time-lost heroes: Krasus, the dragon mage whose great power and memories of the ancient conflict have inexplicably diminished; the human wizard Rhonin, whose thoughts are divided between his family and the seductive source of his now-growing power; and Broxigar, a weathered orc veteran who seeks a glorious death in combat.

But unless these unlikely allies can convince the demigod, Cenarius, and the untrusting night elves of their queen's treachery, the burning Legion's gateway into Azeroth will open anew. And this time - the struggles of the past may well spill over into the future....

Love this series

Amazing book, glad they went with a pro narrator, unlike Christie Golden’s books. Can’t wait for the next two in the series!

One of the best books

It's been a real journey listening to this piece of art, I havent other word

So damn good

It’s like listening to a crazy good movie. I couldn’t put it down. It’s so good that when I turn it off I almost get depressed how I don’t know. It’s just so good it will make you think your life sucks. Highly recommend

Love this brief peak into Warcraft's past!

It gives detailed insight into the actions that created the Sundering. However the time travel aspect is a bit distracting, as it puts into question if any of these outcomes are canon.

Rhonin is a slightly distracting character, bringing the story to a constant halt whenever the author detours from the story of the Well of Eternity to focus on him and Krasus. The constant need to show that Rhonin was better than everyone else around him stifled the importance of the iconic lore characters of old around him.

I understand he might have been used as a vehicle for which we experienced the I past (being human, albeit a very fantastical one), but I wish it hadn't been so distracting. If you can ignore that, the rest of the book is an enjoyable listen. I especially love the banter between Illidan, Malfurion, and Tyrande. The author has some very humorous lines throughout the book.

good book

the lore was good in this book. I found myself engaged. I recommend getting this one, it is probably the best book from Knaak.
