Review of Birthright (Diablo: The Sin War, Book 1)
- Since the beginning of time, the angelic forces of the High Heavens and
the demonic hordes of the Burning Hells have been locked in an eternal conflict for the fate of all Creation. That struggle has now spilled over into
Sanctuary -- the world of men. Determined to win mankind over to their respective causes, the forces of good and evil wage a secret war for mortal souls. This is the tale of the Sin War -- the conflict that would forever change the destiny of man.
Three thousand years before the darkening of Tristram, Uldyssian, son of Diomedes, was a simple farmer from the village of Seram. Content with his quiet, idyllic life, Uldyssian is shocked as dark events rapidly unfold around him. Mistakenly blamed for the grisly murders of two traveling missionaries,
Uldyssian is forced to flee his homeland and set out on a perilous quest to redeem his good name. To his horror, he has begun to manifest strange new powers -- powers no mortal man has ever dreamed of. Now, Uldyssian must grapple with the energies building within him -- lest they consume the last vestiges of his humanity.

A masterpiece by Richard A.Knaak
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.

Slow to unfold however a satisfying read
I personally found this story not to be as exiting as other books Knakk has written however it is a fun journey.
The story is very slow to unfold thus creating a small boredom factor in certain parts of the book. However as you near the middle of the book you are forced to read on as the twists and turns within the story lines leave many questions unanswered which is always something to look forward to.
I will read the other books in this series as i want these unfull filled questions to finally have an answer. great travel book but by far not the best ive read.
3/5

Good
I enjoyed this book. The story unfolds slowly at first but shorty after gets into the twist, turns, and mysteries of the triology. A few things about the Diablo universe are explained but many questions readers may have are not answered fully. The book ends well as it leads into the next book of the series.
Score: 4
