100% here for the Arathi lore

Maybe 3.5 stars for Metzen’s narration. It’s nothing wildly new for Warcraft storytelling, but it was certainly enjoyable.

I’ve been loving the supplementary lore The War Within expansion has been getting. Having listened to the audiobook version, I really enjoyed Chris Metzen’s narration, specially when voicing Thrall of course. The new Arathi Highlands lore is very welcome and interesting, seeing two points of view from the Stromic Humans and Mag’har Orcs is what I’ve always loved about WoW’s ‘two factions and two sides of a story’ style of storytelling. Can’t wait to see what they do with this story in future patches.
