Books for Expansions!

I decided to slowly experience every expansion up to Shadowlands! (also reading books)
Let me explain for example: War Crimes - Draenor , Shadows Rising-Shadowlands

Does anyone know how it goes for other expansions? Sadly I couldn’t find others, and some of them are novels that take place in the expansion?!

So does anyone know what Books, Novels, Short Stories are connect to TBC, Cataclysm, Mists Of Pandaria?!

And also including books that are halfway thru an expansion, like Tides of War and when should I read them while experiencing an expansion!

Edit: This would probably be so annoy for you to write down the books but it would help me so much so please please :3

I own Emerald Dream/Stormrage, The Lord of Clans (Thrall’s story), Illidan (which gives you insight not only into Illidan, but many other viewpoints in TBC, such as Maiev, Akama, and Demon Hunters), and Rise of the Lich King (which gives Jaina’s and Arthas’s perspectives).

Googling “Warcraft Books” will give you a comprehensive list of all the books out there. Quite a few titles make the theme of the book clear.

Yus but for example I got confused with Tides of War I know it has to do with Theramore and Jaina, but that happens like halfway thru the expansion so I dunno when should I read it and are there more books like this >.>

The Shattering is about the prelude to Cataclysm, while Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects is the sequel to it. Death Knights provides the story of Thassarian (and presumably the Knights of the Ebon Blade, filling in that gap of WotLK).

Edit that Day of the Dragon is a third book around the Cataclysm, more precisely Neltharion.

Personally I would have said War Crimes was a MoP book, not Draenor.

Perhaps this link will help you.

It’s a bunch of the books in Chronological order. I think its about 2 years out of date now though, but not a lot has actually come out since then that I know of.

MoP is 37 to 47 (if you exclude Warcrimes as being MoP related).
Vol’jin: Shadows of the Horde was a popular book when it came out.

Then there is this which has some Legion stuff:

Thanks everyone for the recommendation! I decided that I should read Warcraft Chronicles Vol1,2 first! To understand a bit of WoW’s origin lore!

This helps a lot thank you! so much!

Stormrage and Wolfheart are pre/early cataclysm I think. Jaina Proudmore: Tides of War is about the destruction of Theramore. There’s an Illidan novel which was released for Legion but I believe it ties in with his TBC story. Before The Storm is pre BFA story.

Short Stories and Novellas: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/story#tab=short-stories
They appear in descending release order I believe, earliest one at the bottom of the page. For cataclysm they made 12 short stories, one for each race at the time, about their racial leaders.

Comics: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/story#tab=comics
Except for Curse of the Worgen and Ashbringer they’re available free online.

Audio Novels: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/story#tab=audio
Legion had 2 audio novels instead of releasing short stories. Each is about 2 hours long.
