Though I don't agree with martamius in the least bit, I do actually find it interesting that someone enjoys Knaack's writing style. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I always felt like the characters in his books were nothing more than a piece of cardboard with maybe a beard taped on to represent a male, or a great pair of epic chest pieces...IF you know what a mean...to represent a female.
Mrs. Golden's writing however felt more fresh and full, giving new life into characters once thought complete. A great example is the ever popular Culling of Stratholme moment. For all that is holy, if I have to see that seen ONE MORE TIME, I will flip! Yet, when Golden wrote it, a whole new light was added. Arthas was angry, yes, but he was shocked and felt stung when Uther thought he was being sarcastic and bitter to him.
Knaack...on the other hand....well, I can only imagine THIS scene playing out.
Arthas: Glad you could make it, UTHER...
Uther: Watch your tone with me boy, I'm still your superior as an officer!
Arthas: As I could forget-
*Massive Explosion, followed as a DeLorean stops in front of them. Out pops Rhonin*
Arthas: RHONIN! What happened? I thought you went into the next expansion!
Rhonin: I did Arty! But something is horribly wrong!
Arthas: What? What happened?
Rhonin: It's your kids Arty! Quick, into the DeLorean!
*Arthas and Jaina jump into the DeLorean*
Arthas: Hey, Rhon, are we going to have enough flight skill for this?
Rhonin: Where we're going, we don't NEED any 310% flight speed....
*Book ends with all three of them flying off into the distance, leaving both Uther and Mal'Ganis with green eyes of envy at the leetness*
THAT is how he would have written it, I suppose.
