So it was only natural that the same thing would happen to Jaina, right? Personal foibles aside, however, I would say that this book is perhaps the strongest of the World of Warcraft offerings yet released - even managing to compete with and perhaps surpass my previous favorite in the series "Arthas: Rise of the Lich King.

Paperback Books Agatha Christie. Kal goes off in search for it, but not before making a quick stop at Jaina's tower to ask her for her aid. Golden knows how to play the emotions of the reader, and she does so maturely unlike some authors I can think of. And personally to me, that is just bad prose, poor form, and not interesting.
