My crystal ball foresees bashing ahead
So I am sure that everyone has heard of the game. I must admit, I found myself playing it for 2 1/2 years, until the redundancy kicked in.
Now to the Warcraft series of books. When I first starting playing the game, I picked up the original works to get an idea of how the world was built. I was somewhat impressed with the storyline and character shaping.
Then out of curiosity, I picked up a couple of the books far down the line, and found them to be poorly written, or well written with horrible storylines (for those who don't know, there series carries on like DL and FR).
Anyone else experience this, or may have I just picked up the wrong batch further down the line? I have heard the argument that writers and the publisher are simply using the popularity of the name to carry the books, and from what I read (minus the beginning one), that seems to be true.
