Summary
In the world of Draenor, the strong and fiercely independent Frostwolf Clan are faced with increasingly harsh winters and thinning herds. When Gul'dan, a mysterious outsider, arrives in Frostfire Ridge offering word of new hunting lands, Durotan, the clan's chieftain, must make an impossible decision: abandon the territory, pride and traditions of his people or lead them into the unknown.
An original tale of survival, conflict and magic that leads directly into the events of Warcraft, an epic adventure from Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures based on Blizzard Entertainment's global phenomenon.

A lukewarm book
Despite loving C.G.'s book, for the most part, this prequel seems very washed out and tacked on.
Compared to her previous work in Lord of the clans; Rise of the Horde; Arthas; and Tides of Darkness, Warcraft: Durotan lacks whatever else the others had to make them so enthralling.
setting aside the fact that this is a movie adaptation - ergo a lot of the story and characters background is incorrect or "adjusted", the book reads in a very dull manner and failed to grasp me, I did not feel like I had to have "more" like those books that you just can't put down and you itch to pick it up again whenever you can.
The story is dull, and apart from conversations with Gul'Dan and the odd battle with the "other" orcs, nothing else managed to keep me ar the edge of my seat or aching for more.
My strong advice is to read Rise of the Horde, by the same author, instead. By doing so you will be getting a much better story AND the accurate Durotan story.
Things like Durotan only catching "glimpses" of Draenei through his lifetime, instead of, well, what actually happened, made me cringe.
Give this one a skip and pick up the real Durotan prequel with Rise of the Horde, and trust me, you'll understand much better why Durotan is such an honorable yet burdened orc.

why are the orcs cockney?
why does guldan sound like a puckish rogue? the fact that everyone sounds like a wimp and the red orcs sound like a poor arnie knock off is what put me off. the reading outside of the speaking parts are great and easy listening, but no effort was put into character voices, and why did dektar go from sounding like a troll to a soft spoken gentleman? the lack of effort made it hard to a defrenciate between characters.

Not much of a book or story
Book could have been told in 45 minutes and not much of anything really happens.

Amazing but lacking action
This was my first audio book experience and it was amazing! I found myself excited to get a spare half hour to sit down and listen to it. The story is amazing and the characters are portrayed fantastically.
If I had to criticise I would say the book itself could have a little more action.

Great for free trial.
loved the story, really enjoyed the performance. Looked at other books and refuse to pay the amount asked for them, which is disappointing. Far too expensive for what they are.

Waste od time
History is flat with little grip on the listner. Maybe for a WoW fan. Not for High Fantasy lovers.

Loved the movie
Frost Wolves are awesome, WoW is enjoyable. Always wondered about the larger story and the things leading up to Guldan in the movie. Not sure I’d play the game but 😁 I’m excited to see if there are any more characters I’d like more than the orcs?

Great story, but...
I'm an avid WoW fan, I know well the story, where it is set and how it goes. The narrator is great with reading, with voices...but for these orcs, hearing them as londoners and the mispronounciated way he said Drac'thar (he said drak tar, when in the game its a solid 'th' sound) it really got me correcting him as it went on, after ranting to my husband the first time he mispronounced. Stuck it out as I love all the lore of WoW, personally didn't like this narrator with this story.
pros
• Love the story.
• Followed the in game lore very well
• Made me nostalgic for frostfire ridge
cons
• Made me nostalgic for frostfire ridge (iykyk)
• Mispronounced names
• Gave the orcs London type thuggish voices.
