The whole Pandaria thing is actively raising my interest in World of Warcraft. This book only continues that trend. An introduction to the world of the pandas in the realm of Azeroth. The protagonist, Li Li, is an almost daring character: Though she's a young child she's witty, plucky in a fight, she can win an argument with adults, and she knows a thing or two about beer!
I did have a few minor problems with the book. Sean Galloway's art is wonderful (oh, Goddess, his character designs!), but th...more

I won this book in a Goodreads give-away. Pearl of Pandaria introduces World of Warcraft fans to the Pandarem race, panda-like beings who live atop a floating island, the Wandering Isle, which is actually a giant turtle named Shen-zih Su. WoW is the world’s most popular multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) so there is sure to be demand for this title and other spin off books. This book coincides with the release of the new game, Mists of Pandaria. Li Li is a young female student, niece...more

For fans of World of Warcraft, Pearl of Pandaria is a direct tie-in to the newly released World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria expansion.

Review originally posted on The Oaken Bookcase on September 24, 2012.
I’ve been a World of Warcraft player for quite a few years now, so I was thrilled to be given the chance to review this graphic novel. It’s a tie-in with the upcoming expansion release of Mists of Pandaria on September 25th, and introduces us to the Pandaren and their wanderlust.
Long ago, a group of Pandaren followed the explorer Liu Liang onto the back of his giant turtle, known as the Wandering Isle, to set off to see the wor...more

Micky Neilson's writing and Sean Galloway's colors are giving fans of WoW the opportunity to see the world of Azeroth through the eyes of a child.
The main character is Chan Stormstout's niece, Li Li, who begins a journey to find her uncle armed with optimism, her love for the unexplored and .. with a great deal of sarcasm! Through this journey, Li Li matures- while in the beginning she has a blind faith in her powers, in the end she realizes that things don't always work out as expected and that...more

A quick catch up on where one specific character has been since last appearing in this universe. On the plus side, it doesn't spend large chunks retelling events that have already been covered. On the other hand, by skipping those events, the faction most associated with the character feels missing in action.
Also, have to say that I loved the art style. So many of the things like this I've been reading lately have looked like someone left their watercolor illustrations out in the rain. While ver...more

This was free thanks to Goodreads First Reads! I was hopping this was going to be more of a YA -Adult graphic novel for the Warcraft Lore fan that I am, however what we have here is a graphic kids novel that gives some more flavor to a couple new characters that can be found in the new World of Warcraft expansion Mists of Pandaria. Id gauge this for the 8-12 crowd but what I really like about this book is that it comes across in a way that makes me wonder if this is a test for a possible new ani...more
I may be a nerd but I do have a semblance of a life so I can't really play world of war craft. I played the second war craft when I was young and recently saw a game trail for Pandaria that was pretty cool. When I saw this in the giveaway list I was like sure, let's go for it.
Honestly didn't think I'd win but surprise surprise! I did.
I flipped through it a few times and it's pretty good. I'm not sure if this will have anything to do with the story line of the game but I liked it none-the-less....more

Some time ago DC comics announced that instead of doing the World of Warcraft comics as individual issues, they were going to change to a graphic novel format. Pearl of Pandaria is the first one to be released, and is just in time to coincide with Mists of Pandaria, the latest WoW expansion.
