This Breakfast Topic has been brought to you by Seed , the AOL guest writer program that brings your words to WoW Insider’s pages. For the most part, I’ve always sneered at novels that were spin-offs of popular movies or games. I considered myself a bit of a literary purist and felt that the writing in these books was mediocre, at best. When I met my husband, he had a full collection of every book ever written that tied into a Blizzard game and more than a few books based on card games as well. I accepted it as one of his quirks, and we did just fine. As luck would have it, one day I found myself desperate for reading material, with nothing at hand but Rise of the Horde by Christie Golden. I rolled my eyes, picked up the book, started reading … and couldn’t put the darn thing down. I was astonished. This writing wasn’t bad … in fact, I thought it was pretty good! The story was interesting. I enjoyed reading the back history of characters I had been encountering for years. I asked my husband for a recommendation on what I should try next, and now I’m a thorough WoW novel devotee. Christie Golden remains my favorite author. I think she gets into the character’s emotional states better than anyone else, and I love her strong female characters. What about you? Have you given them a try? Any particular authors or stories you prefer?
