A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Mage (World of Warcraft manga) - Richard A. Knaak

*This review is mostly for my memory.*

Digging into one of my other Humble Bundles, I had some World of Warcraft titles. My husband and I have a lot of history with that game and made a few friends while playing (a few we still keep in touch with!). The bundle is a mix of comics, manga and novels. This was my first manga from the bundle.

Dalaran is under attack by a force led by Malygos, the great blue dragon. Aodhan is a young mage who hears a voice in the prison. He follows the voice and finds his uncle, a man who he believed to be dead. What follows is Aodhan's journey of choosing sides and testing the limits of his knowledge.

I definitely would not recommend this to anyone who knows zero about WoW. You're just dropped into the world, and being plopped onto a floating city would make most people just ask questions. For me, familiar names like Dalaran, Kirin Tor, and Azeroth brought back memories. A few of the major events were mentioned as well. 

At first I didn't realize this was a manga, so I was a bit confused why it was in black and white. Knowing it's a manga, I understood. I was a bit bummed, though, since Malygos is a really pretty color of blue. Other than that, it didn't bother me. I read this on my Kindle, so I had to zoom in and move the pages around to read it. A bit of work, but I do what I have to! Good Story!
