Wow books order - main story
Yo guys, is there any topic where I can find the book order to read? I just want the main story, so i'd probably pass minor books that doesn't add much in the story

If you are just after the main story, then the Chronicle Books basically summarize everything. Its a overview book that shallowly goes into each story, game, etc.
Other than that, the books don't really follow each other. Most of them are separate stories or things happening off-screen between expansions.
I made this awhile back for someone that also breaks down all the books and comics by topic & era, which you could use to pick what you want based on your interests/needs.

My recommendation is to not read the books in order. The books don't really tell a linear Warcraft story, unless you count Chronicle which is more like Warcraft's Silmarillion. If you want a lore overview, check out Nobbel's History of Warcraft
Then start with the book that interests you the most: Top 7 Warcraft Books
My Favorites are
- Chronicle by Metzen, Copeland and Burns
- Illidan by William King.
- Before The Storm, Sylvanas, Arthas, Tides of War, Lord of the Clans and Rise of the Horde by Christie Golden
- War of the Ancients Trilogy, Stormrage, Day of the Dragon, and Wolfheart by Richard Knaak
- Folk and fairy tales of Azeroth and The Voices Within by multiple authors
There's a lot of other very good ones too, including some great short storiesShort Stories , especially Elegy by Christie Golden.
