Die Herrschaft Der Drachen (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
The book gives a good background to the story behind the heroes in GW2. We learn about the each of the character's past, especially when Logan choose to answer his Queen's summon instead of the staying with the plan to slay Kralkatorrik.The opening was well paced, and the author writes dialogues in a witty way that was very enjoyable to read. However, after between defeating the first champion and the encounter the Kralkatorrik, the fights with the other champions feel like filler. There was never a moment where I was drawn into the fight, because never did the heroes felt like they were in any danger. If I were a draw an MMO comparison, it would be like rather chapters of them just running through a regular dungeon. So, in summary, the opening was great, but the story tapered off towards to end. That's... it? Are you frickin' kidding me?! So, Logan betrays his friends - without a moment of hesitation, I might add - it leads to two of them dying and to the survival of Kralkatorrik, and his reaction is, at least I stayed true to my queen? ARE YOU FRICKIN' KIDDING ME?! No redemption or punishment or even a lesson learned?You know, I really hope that Rytlock takes the Blood Legion and wipes Divinity's Reach and the Seraph and especially Logan Thackeray off the face of Ascalon, because neither Logan, nor his precious Queen Jennah deserve anything better.Books rarely piss me off but this one managed it thoroughly. The ending destroyed any pleasure I took from reading the book. God, what a frickin' mess!
