I am currently reading The Dark Portal by Jeff Grub and it is about how the fel orcs and illidan from outland to azeroth and not medivh has to go to karazhan to help fix the dark portal and keep it contained. The book shows no love story but is very interesting and action packed, it shows very serious quality and is a haggard felt book.

Medivh is a high elve who was turned by the night into a night elve and lived with many night elves before he was sent to contain the dark portal. The portal was breached and he sent for help to karazhan. He found an old friend in karazhan, Moroes. He is an undead thieve, but is a prince of the castle of karazhan. His character shows no emotion and is always in the shadows. Personally he is my favorite character and he gets more interesting as the story goes along. I can't connect to any of these characters because they are all so serious and the only real comic relief is the Stagemaster. He controls what preformances go on in karazhans theatre. The plays he puts on are, Romulo and Julianne, Wizard of Oz, and Little Red Riding Cloak. He just makes fun of everything and I know many people like that so he really gives me a sense of whats going on.

Overall I am loving this book, even though it is almost unrelatable and it seems so dark, it's a really action packed book with many twists and turns and it shows how good our world is compared to how bad it could be if something were to happen like this.
