World of Warcraft: Traveler

By: Greg Weisman, Samwise Didier

Narrated by: Ramón de Ocampo

An epic action-adventure series set in Blizzard's popular World of Warcraft® game franchise. Features a young cast of characters discovering the mysteries and majesty of the world around them.

It's been years since 12-year-old Aramar Thorne, a clever boy who is never without his precious sketchbook, has seen his father. So when Captain Greydon Thorne comes ashore and asks his son to join him at sea, it feels as if someone has redrawn Aram's entire world. At sea Aram struggles to get along with the Wavestrider's crew - especially second mate Makasa, a tough teenage girl who has been reluctantly placed in charge of him. Just as Aram starts to get his head above water, a band of vicious pirates attack the Wavestrider, turning his world upside down once again. As Aram and Makasa try to find their way home, they encounter creatures both terrible and wondrous, and Aram will seek to understand Azeroth's denizens as he draws them in his sketchbook, forming unlikely friendships along the way. But the journey is hindered by Greydon's compass, which never points north. If the compass isn't leading Aram and Makasa home - to safety - to what destiny is it leading?

A cute little peak into the World of Warcraft

Book one of the Traveler series is a very cute and accessible look into the World of Warcraft for even the totally unfamiliar with it. Despite that it peppers itself with little easter eggs for veterans and fans to point out and smile at.

But it doesn't fill my Warcraft lore void that I've been longing for since War Crimes and it served as a slightly satisfying appetizer at best.

Although made for young readers was still a good read

I’ve read all the Warcraft books and left this one last because I was looking forward to it the least. However, I ended up quite enjoying the book and performance was great. Next book in the series was equally satisfying.

love this series

I have listened to all 3 books. written is such a way that I feel I know these characters. And the nation is absolutely perfect!

A wonderderful WoW tale set in Vanilla lands.

I really enjoyed revisiting the areas where I leveled as a young Orc so many, many years ago. I like how places and food and beasts in the story made me recall my feelings when first encountering those things. A great read for any Wow fan. Time well spent. You can even listen while grinding out yet another alt in the same areas.

Of special note: the narrator's (Ramon de Ocampo), Murloc voice. Loved it!

Nice surprise

Surprisingly this was a great listen. I’m a 50 year old who loves WoW novelization especially those in audible. This YA novel was a fun listen especially since it took you to parts of the world found in my favorite video game.
