The third and final installment in the sunwell trilogy was everything I had come to expect from famed author Richard A. Knaak. The story was not only compelling and completely entrenched and flowing with the warcraft universe but the twists and surprises were a pleasant jolt to the story as well. And the Amazing artistic abilities of Kim Jae-Hwan were nothing short of Breath taking and incredible. If I could give them more than 5 out of 5 I would. I hope this isn't the last team up of this amazing duo in the warcraft universe in manga.

even though I didn't really like the first two books that much I bought it anyways because I'm slightly obsessive compulsive about completing sets (damn you Poke'mon, and damn you video game based achievements). Now you all know how I trick myself into buying manga I don't even want. I took all three books on the train in Tokyo to read while we traveled 3 hours to Japan's Ikea. The third book was actually a pretty good conclusion to s simple hockey storyline. The art was a little less detailed than the first two books, I guess the artist was getting bored. The summary at the beginning of the third book was a copy of the second book, nothing new. I felt like I paid for the same thing twice. My favorite part of this book is a single frame with a zombie with him saying "Hurr" with googiley eyes. I laughed on the train and Japanese people stared at me.

Overall, I think unless you play war craft you will think this is a pretty lame manga. You might like the art, but you will seek to read the novels or play the games to get a better idea why their are giant cow people, which they don't even say he is a Tauren. There is a lack of Gnomes, and the orcs are displayed in about 10 frames of the whole series. You would think the orcs would have a bigger role in any Warcraft books, because they were one of the main races of the series from the beginning. Overall, I didn't like the storyline, but the art and my nerdy interest in Warcraft kept me going.

Ah well fitting ending to a trilogy that has both awesome drawing by Jae Hawn Kim and (allthough relativly short)a rich story. Nice battles and story plots come together in a good finishing book of the trilogy. For the enthousiast a nice 3rd book and ending of the story. Too bad its the final part, because I think there could be much more of these stories.

The third and final book of the Sunwell Trilogy was pleasing to me. While I thought the first two books were pretty shallow as far as the plot goes, this one had a somewhat deeper feel. As the story reaches its climax, with the Sunwell's power being revealed, the action actually gets pretty intense. Also, the addition of a couple of cool new characters (especially Sylvanas) gives more depth and details more of the background for the story. So, props for Knaack for finishing off the series with some substance.

As before, the art is the major selling point for these books. Jae-Hwan's talent is amazing and really brings the story to life.

Yeah, so I read the whole 3 books in this series and they were good, I enjoyed them but it seemed to be over a little quickly. There was an epic battle and all but it seemed to be over too quickly.

Good, but I would have liked a stronger ending.

Wonderful manga! The artistic side was well done and the dialogue was intriguing and attention-grabbing. A must for anyone who loves the Warcraft saga.

The first two novels really built...and this one was like the end of a Scooby Doo Mystery. The rip the monster's mask off, go "OMIGOSH!" everyone has a good laugh, all loose ends are tied up conveniently and you're left wondering "Why did I bother reading this trilogy?"
Art's amazing. But it feels like Richard A. Knaak was writing a sextet instead of a trilogy. Book # 3 should've continued building...and then books 4-6 are the dramatic conclusion.
If only.
I suppose if you're a WoW clone who never played WC1,2,3, or any expansions this book will be fine because it's probably new and exciting. But hey, WoW is awesome,right? So anything with the same logo = spend money!

A really good conclusion to a great book series.
