Decent book, not bad, but is rediculously slow paced to me. The series is definatly my least favorite of knaacks. The characters are ok, but the don't really stand out much at all. I've seen mny reviews of other books citing underdeveloped/poor characters, this is the 1st book that I can really agree with those statements.

It's alright if you want to waste a good chunck of time/for the collection, but if you just want to know backstory I would suggest finding a nice summary, instead of wading through the book.

Also, I think its worth noting the game it is based on is a hack and slash, complete opposite of the book.

Bought this as a gift for my son that likes this series. He said it was good and enjoyed reading it.

I'm a big Diablo fan and recently decided to try out this book after getting all excited about the Diablo 3 announcement. I'm disappointed to have to say that it is really bad. The writing is very amateurish and just plain bad. I have seen better writing on internet fan fiction sites. I won't be buying any other Diablo books, and this experience has me soured on game-based fiction in general

Book was received in the conditioned advertised and in a quick matter. Loved the Diablo games, but so far haven't really got into the books.

Based on the Diablo games by Blizzard Software, the Sin War is a lead up to the events in the games that takes place thousands of years ago.
New comers to the Diablo universe wont find understanding the characters difficult since characters from the games are introduced with introductions expertly woven into the story so as to be enjoyable for all.

To me this story is very enjoyable due to the fact the story is a journey of discovery for the central character as much as it is for the audience with enemies and close friendships formed throughout the story (as well as the trilogy). A masterpiece from the master story writer Richard A. Knaak has crafted a classic tale, in which a young man must rise to the challenges of life to overcome the greatest adversaries and save the world from utter destruction.
