If you don't mind not completing Trag's story, picking up one out of the three available books is still a pretty good deal. If you're like Lesley, though, you'll get hooked on Knaak's tale of a Death Knight's struggle to free himself of the Lich King's grasp. Personally, I find that Knaak's writing suffers just a tiny bit from 'telling, not showing' which likely stems from his experience writing novels. I feel that there needs to be a little more trust wow account in the artist to show the story rather than tell the story with accompanying illustrations. Fortunately, Kim's finely detailed art enriches the story's somber tone incredibly well. A minor quibble is that sometimes some of the writers tend to forget that the Warcraft Legends book format is small, so when the writing runs long they become harder to read.

Each book contains three self-contained stories and one ongoing tale featuring the Tauren Trag Highmountain from the Sunwell Trilogy manga written by Richard Knaak and drawn by Kim Jae-Hwan. Trag's story in Warcraft Legends picks up where the Sunwell Trilogy left off, and although the story is rather interesting, the best thing about the manga are the short stories which breathe a little more life into the Warcraft world. These stories are what make the books truly shine. My take on the first three books in the series after the jump.
