Diablo III: Book of Tyrael Description
Review
“…phenomenal in visual appearance… Almost every page in the book contains at least one piece of artwork and a piece of dedicated scripture, all of which is printed perfectly on the highest quality of paper.”—Inside the Box Reviews
“While this insight into the backstory of Diablo III is very welcome, at least half the draw of the Book of Cain was in its gorgeous illustrations, the sort of images you only find in concept artwork, except more fully fleshed out and featuring a greater degree of detail. The Book of Tyrael continues this tradition, and is described as featuring ‘stunning original art throughout.’”—The Escapist

Today, I have received, and fully read (about 6 hours) the entirety of the Book of Tyrael.
The authors of this book (Matt Burns and Doug Alexander) had quite the task of matching the wonderful writing of Book of Cain (Flint Dille). I am happy to say that they were up to the challenge, and the writing of this book, is every bit as good as what was put forth, by Flint Dille.
As a complete Diablo lore nerd, I cannot begin to describe my anticipation for this particular lore book. I will most assuredly be re-reading this, many more times, before the release of, Reaper of Souls. I am left both satiated, and still wanting more!
If you are looking for more Diablo content, this is what you "should" buy! (Note the word "should!")
For now my friends, is where It breaks my heart, to talk about the flaws of this potentially wonderful book, the printing.
The Book of Cain, was designed and printed with wonderfully detailed artwork, great pagination, smart use of switching between printed and hand-written text. At no time was the TEXT ever unreadable!
Most of this book is suppose to look like Book of Cain pages glued to modern pages.
While I can surely appreciate the artistic intent, the coloring of these pages, is just too dark.
The black text on DARKLY colored backgrounds makes several words in the book unreadable!!!
Far too many of pages are only readable if you have a direct light beaming down onto the book.
For those of you who think I am probably just going blind, let me assure you that I do wear either glasses, or contacts, and have my vision checked yearly. This is not a case of eyesight.
