WEIGH ANCHOR AND CHART COURSE FOR THE ISLANDS OF AZEROTH!
Betwixt the sweeping seas of Azeroth, islands and isles await, bursting with splendid treasures―powerful artifacts, enchanted armor, and rousing tales from ages past. With duty delaying their honeymoon for years, First Arcanist Thalyssra and Lord Regent Lor’themar Theron finally resolve to set sail, seeking the perfect setting to celebrate their love. Join the happy couple as they travel to distant shores, scouting for the perfect sunset and learning that it is the journey―and those with whom we share it―that should be cherished most. From the magnificent Suramar and the lush jungles of Zandalar to the rugged seas of Kul Tiras and the verdant beaches of the Dragon Isles, Exploring Azeroth: Islands & Isles is your next step in a charming voyage across Azeroth.
The exploring azeroth series has been largely hit or miss. That being said, I felt this was the best of them all, as it framed the book as a journey to find a honeymoon destination between Thalyssra and Lor’themar Theron, as they write letters back and forth to each other about what they have found. By the end, they come to a heartwarming conclusion to their journey, which I won't reveal. It brings a lot of life and personality into what could otherwise be another stale wiki article collection book.
Another very fun delve into the lore and geography of WoW, accompanied with gorgeous artwork. I enjoyed the framework of it being a sort of travel diary from Thalyssra and Lor'themar looking for a place to honeymoon, but that did get a bit stretched (and tired) when trying to justify exploring every nook and cranny from three expansions of the game within it.
