As a pretty avid player of the game World of Warcraft, I was looking forward to this graphic novel trilogy set in the war-torn island of Azeroth, one of the islands that make up the fantastical world in the game.

The main character is a Kalec, a man who is not really a man. Instead, he is a blue dragon who can transform into a man. He has come to this area of Azeroth to try and prevent the Sunwell from falling under the influence of evildoers. The Sunwell, is a lost source of unimaginable power that disappeared many years earlier.

Upon his arrival, Kale meets Anveena a teenager girl living in the countryside. The two quickly become friends and compatriots after fending off an evil team of dwarves and orcs. They return to her family's cabin before heading out on a journey that will define the future of the world. They are joined on their mission by a number of stereotypical fantasy characters.

A dark lord living in the mountains is using an army of zombies to help connect him with the Sunwell. Little does he know it, but it is about to fall into his hands when he is confronted with the forces of good. Over the course of the three short volumes, that tale builds to a not-so-surprising reveal and an epic battle that doesn't really live up to the phrase.

I have to admit to being quite disappointed in these. I had been looking forward to reading them as soon as I ordered them for the library. Unfortunately, the storyline does not really seem to be specifically tied to the World of Warcraft game, and it definitely is not the most enjoyable. It is not bad, just sorta so-so.

I thought the illustrations were fairly good, but I do have to say that there were a number of times in which I had trouble figuring out which character was which in some of the panels.

Overall, this is a set you could skip unless you thought you really had to read them.
