Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Destiny Called - They Answered In the dark recesses of Tyria, elder dragons have awoken from millennial slumbers. First came Primordus, which stirred in the Depths forcing the asura to flee to the surface. Half a century later, Jormag awoke and drove the norn from the frozen climes of the Northern Shiverpeaks, corrupting sons and brothers along the way. A generation later, Zhaitan arose in a cataclysmic event that reshaped a continent and flooded the capital of the human nation of Kryta. The races of Tyria stand on the edge of destiny. Heroes have battled against dragon minions, only to be corrupted into service of the enemy. Armies have marched on the dragons and been swep aside. The dwarves sacrificed their entire race to defeat a single dragon champion. The age of mortals may soon be over. This is a time for heroes. While the races of Tyria stand apart, six heroic individuals will come together to fight for their people: Eir, the norn huntress with the soul of an artist; Snaff, the asuran ge­nius, and his ambitious assistant Zojja; Rytlock, the ferocious charr warrior in exile; Caithe, a deadly sylvari with deep secrets; and Logan, the valiant human guardian dealing with divided loyalties. Together they become Destiny’s Edge. Together they answer the call. But will it be enough?

    The first time I read this book I didn't know a lot about Guild Wars lore. I thought the book was confusing, the story fragmented and plotless, with too little context.

    This time I read the book while playing living world season 2 in guild wars 2 and the story just fit so perfectly in the world of the video game that I looked at it completely differently.

    Bottomline: if you know a bit of guild wars 2, it's a good book and worthy of rereading. If you don't know too much guild wars, I would opt for Ghosts of Ascalon instead. It's a lot easier to get into, and has better plot and character development.
