Great, like the first, to have a definitive version of the history of Warcraft. Illustrations amazing as always.
Chronicle Vol. 2 starts with the origins of life on Draenor and continues through the Second War and the Alliance Expedition. Like anything to do with Draenor, the most interesting parts are about the arakkoa and the least interesting are the orcs, so of course the book is mostly about the orcs. The orcs are divided into dozens of clans with names like the Rotten Teeth and the Mad Dogs. They revere nature and violence, although not in that order. They are forced to invade Azeroth after utterly r...more
The pursuit of weaving stories from dozens of different writers developed over decades into a comprehensive time line is great. However, there are many muddled, undeveloped concepts and instances of saving characters just to repeat plot lines over again (because after all they are video game assets) that it is painfully obvious the story of WoW never had a grand architect. It's a shame that some of the bad writing wasn't retconned out of existence and instead supported in this book.

The second volume of the World of Warcraft chronicles is again full of lore information that can answer many questions the players might have about various characters, locations or events they meet in the game.
Volume 2 starts with the history of Draenor and we learn about origins of various species, of arrakoa, ogres, orcs and more. Then we follow eredari on their way to this world and see how the Burning Legion corrupted orcs and used them to destroy Velen and his people and then invaded Azerot...more

The second volume of the lore collection for the World of Warcraft videogame focuses on the First and Second War, so basically the stories of the first two RTS games Warcraft and Warcraft II. In retrospect it's quite amazing to see how rich a story they weaved from games that were actually so low on actual story and plot. I never played Warcraft, but I played the original campaigns of Warcraft II, and I mostly remember the amazing music and the silly voice lines of some units, plus I loved the n...more

I must say I enjoyed the second Chronicle even more than the first one. Although the story of the Second War is as boring as in the novels Tides of Darkness and Beyond the Dark Portal (well, maybe at least a little bit less boring, but definitely not as entertaining as the games themselves). Nonetheless, the story of Medivh and Khadgar is well-written. The background story of Draenor is veeery interesting. And all of it makes sense once again. I also enjoyed the little easter eggs throughout the...more
This was way better than I had expected it to be. My first experience with this universe was with Warcraft III and World of Warcraft, so most of this was ancient history that I only learned about piecemeal through those games. And 13 years on from World of Warcraft, a lot more stuff has been retroactively added to the past of the gameworld, and these books do a good job of making it all one coherent story with a compelling narrative.

Brilliant! Summary of events that lead to opening portal from Dreanor to Azeroth and battles before Warcraft 3. There are some lore discrepancies between earlier released novels and the book that was predlude to the movie (Durotan). Also, plot of the movie is slightly different. But nevertheless this was pure joy. Good reminder of characters and events which are later playing major role in World of Warcraft and its expansions.

Another fantastic volume. I knew most of the story of the 1st war but I didn't all of the background that took place on Draenor. It is extremely sad. I knew basically nothing about the 2nd war or the initial journey of the alliance through the Dark Portal. Each of these Volumes is stunningly beautiful. Obviously the artwork is amazing but I also love just the ordinary pages. They have a nice 'old tome' kind of feel. I can't wait for volume 3.
I felt like this moved at a better pace than the first one. Perhaps because the first one spent a lot of time laying down the foundation, introducing us to important characters, their races, their cultures, etc. This one was able to delve into the story and had a lot of more action. Still not the most entertaining book I’ve ever had in my hands but it’s definitely better than the first one and I’m looking forward to the last one which I am picking up next.

Lots of history about Draenor and the various Orc clans. This leads into the opening of the Dark Portal and the Orc invasion of Azeroth. Just like in the first volume there is lots of lore and background information on various things found in the game. I had no idea about the first Death Knights and how different they are from my little Draenei Death Knight who runs around with her ghoul. Great artwork continues in this volume. Highly recommended for people like me who skip quest text.

Enjoyed reading this as I'm a big fan of the lore of the game. This gives a nice synopsis of a lot of the early events in the Warcraft universe. I'm not sure that someone that hasn't played the game would really enjoy it (nor would I expect them to do so). That being said the storyline that has developed out of this game has become pretty convoluted---nice to have this to document where it has been.

An excellent follow-up to the first chronicles and I can't wait for the third. Especially helpful after playing through Warlords this clears up the timeline for how everything on Draenor panned out and lets you really see where things deviated in the alternate timeline. And invaluable resource for those of us steeped in decades of Blizzard lore.

Unbelievable story. Although I was not a stranger to Warcraft Lore, Chronicles I and II really capture every single detail in the history of this fictional universe. The characters, each possessing a different aspect/personality are very well written and some of the great hero/anti-hero s of all time are in this franchise. Simply amazing.

World of Warcraft Chronicle: Volume 2 is the continuation of Warcraft lore soft reboot and slight rework to account for all the changes that happened to Warcraft universe over the years.
Where Volume 1 established the foundation of Azeroth The Volume 2 focuses on ancient history of orcish homeworld Draenor and the events of the first two Warcraft games. Easy and enjoyable read.

A lot of history is crammed inside Chronicle: Volume 2 and it makes it hard to read. (at least for myself). I've read all Warcraft books up to date and I recommend first to read the other books, then this one. There are some inconsistencies that I did not enjoy and some clunky lore elements that felt like the authors put there with the sole purpose to match the timeline and history of the world.
Volume 2 of the Chronicle completed, and wow - this lore is so good. Reading the history in this volume that ends with the closing of the Dark Portal and sundering of Draenor was very cool...next volume is primed and ready to read...
Significantly less artwork than the previous volume, but the lore makes it as good of a read as volume 1. Minus one star for big lack of art in an expensive hardcover. I'm excited to read the next volume to see what happens to Khadgar, Allerian, and Turaylon. Hopefully volume 3 provides answers.

Amazing 'history' book. Natural sequence to the first part. Everything was nicely described and explained. There were some differences with the released novels but I guess this book should be used as ultimate source of truth. Can't wait to read the next part.
A large chunk of this volume is about Draenor, which I was initially less interested in, but ended up enjoying almost as much as Azeroth's history. The Chronicle series is truly a gem for fans of Warcraft lore and I can't wait for the third volume to come out!

I love the lore behind the World of Warcraft. I own a majority of the books and it is nice to refresh my memory with the Chronicles. It's a quick read if you read it in one sitting and gives you a good overview of the Burning Crusade expansion.
Written mostly from Draenor to the first and second war. Alot of orcs. Wouldve been great with the release of warlords of draenor as it gives more history to the origin of the orcs and an indepth view on their culture and religion.

A great continuation of Chronicles Vol I. As a huge fan of WOW 10+ years it was worth getting this in depth look at other things such as Draenor's origins, the invasion of the burning legion etc... The Lore behind this game has no equal. Love it. Look forward to Vol III
This book is a perfect foundation of all events that took place in warcraft lore. It puts everything in a neat chronological manner with some epic illustrations.
Must have book for any wow fan.
