(Announcement) New Book Available for Pre-Order
Well this is unexpected.
I wonder what itâll be, considering the one they were supposed to release for Dragonflight is still untitled, far as I know anyway, and slated to release to later this year
I kind of wonder if the book announcement will actually be new or if if will just be them promoting the Dragonflight Codex or Exploring Pandaria.

Well, the Codex comes out in november. A little late to be promoting it if you ask me. If people havenât pre-ordered it or heard of it by now, they likely arenât going to pre-order or care.

Why I thought that might be the case as well I am pretty sure it isnt. You can pre-order BOTH books already.

The novel thatâs coming for DF is still untitled according to Amazon. Maybe blizz is officially announcing a title for the book.
It has a title now on Amazon, âWar of the Scalebornâ.

Considering thatâs the name of the war between the Aspects and Incarnates that occurred years ago⌠I guess the book is going to cover the war.

Link, please?
This is what I see.

It doesnât have a picture yet, but the title is definetly called War of the Scaleborn. I just pre-ordered that and the Codex. Lots of fun reading to be had
Oh I see. You have to select âKindle.â
I will probably buy it but I am already getting dragon fatigue. I wish we had a book that was more focused on the factions.

Official book description is up and it seems that prior to the war Alexstrasza and Vyranoth were friends and doing their best to keep the peace before it escalated to war.

Will be curious to see how she goes from being Alexstrazsaâs friend to well, a Primal Incarnate.
EDIT: Also assuming thatâs Vyranoth in the image, good lord does WoWâs in game art style fail to do proto-dragons any justice
Vyranoth actually looks intimidating there, where she, like the other proto-dragons, look like weird chicken hybrids in game.

My question is, whoâs writing it?
Because after the âSylvanasâ novel Iâm definitely pre-ordering it day one if itâs Golden.
Normally Iâve to make a lot of risky decisions to be up at 3am, questioning my grip on reality, as I mutter about eels to anyone whoâll listen.

thanks god it is not golden, its a newcommer, in warcraft franchise, she wrote before that about diablo for example.
and the one thing that piss me up here again is, that instead of showcasing this information ingame, let us expierience this, they shovvel it into a novelâŚagain.
Well yeah.
One surefire way to make money is to sell the story separately.
Iâd be more miffed about it but as long as people keep shelling out theyâll keep doing it.
This is why I maintain âShadowâs Risingâ is the best WoW companion novel regardless of anyoneâs personal opinion on itâs contents.
Yeah it has some important details like what happened to Zulâs disciples, howâd Talanjii square up that peace deal with herself and her people, and most pressing to me; Can the Forsaken have beards? Turns out the answer is Sorta.
But going from BFA to SL the only real material detail youâll learn is why Nathanos Blightcaller just vibing on his porch when heâs one of Azerothâs Most Wanted. Which isnât that pressing of a question.
Compare that to âBefore The Stormâ which is the only way you were going to find out why Arthasâs sister was now Lightbright the Good Christian Cannibal. Or âSylvanasâ which was pretty much appointment reading if you wanted to have the slightest idea what the titular character had been shrieking about for 1 & 1/2 games.
But nothing tops âWar Crimesâ for me. Because in addition to having the wrongest tone imaginable for a story about a minotaur defense attorney in Panda Court, also was your only clue to how Garrosh went from losing the finale to MoP to being unstuck in time pulling a Biff from Back To The Future 2.

of course its a moneygrip, but i no longer support that behavior of blizz and buy their novelsâŚi know, many more will do it, but we should not support blizzard in their lasiness to showcase it ingame for us, we pay since many years money âŚi heard 10 billion ⏠since release of wow, soâŚthere should be enough money to simply do their job.
