Edge of Destiny (Guild Wars #2) 
In the dark recesses of Tyria, elder dragons have awoken from millennial slumbers. First came Primordus, which stirred in the Depths forcing the asura to flee to the surface. Half a century later, Jormag awoke and drove the norn from the frozen climes of the Northern Shiverpeaks, corrupting sons and brothers along the way. A generation later, Zhaitan arose in a cataclysmic event that reshaped a continent and flooded the capital of the human nation of Kryta.
The races of Tyria stand on the edge of destiny. Heroes have battled against dragon minions, only to be corrupted into service of the enemy. Armies have marched on the dragons and been swep aside. The dwarves sacrificed their entire race to defeat a single dragon champion. The age of mortals may soon be over.
This is a time for heroes. While the races of Tyria stand apart, six heroic individuals will come together to fight for their people: Eir, the norn huntress with the soul of an artist; Snaff, the asuran genius, and his ambitious assistant Zojja; Rytlock, the ferocious charr warrior in exile; Caithe, a deadly sylvari with deep secrets; and Logan, the valiant human guardian dealing with divided loyalties. Together they become Destiny’s Edge. Together they answer the call. But will it be enough?
It's a nice background story about the mentors in the Guild Wars 2 game. Easy to read, small fantasy story.
It wasn't too easy rating this book. Ultimately, I have to compare it to Ghosts of Ascalon. While both books are standalones and written by different authors, they tell stories in between Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2. For the first 50 or so pages I believed I'd enjoy Edge of Destiny over Ghosts of Ascalon. I liked the characters better, I also admittedly liked the premise of the book better. However, Edge of Destiny quickly tumbles from intriguing story lines and loveable characters to lackluster

If you've been playing Guild Wars 2, as I have, then you know about Destiny's Edge. They're a major component of the game's storyline, a group of heroes who joined together to fight the agents of the Elder Dragons of the world. Elder Dragons in the Guild War universe are basically sentient, elemental forces that want to destroy everything. This group fought back against them, until something happened and they entirely broke apart. If you're like me, you're curious about what the full back-story
This book starts off on a slow manner, sifting through different stories of the characters who will ultimately be brought together as a group. However this ends up being two groups then then merge into one group to head off to fight Dragonspawn (more Dragonspawn and oh more Dragonspawn) and ultimately a Dragon. My thoughts.... whilst the expectation of the first novel was set, this was a disappointment. Too much repetition on what was done, the fights too easily won in the context of the
Pretty good storyline in general. And also really great characters. Everyone is likeable, and relatable, even though this is an MMORPG adaptation. In an MMORPG, you don't actually connect with characters as much. But this story shows the other side of the whole game. I am waiting for the sequels and can't wait to play with the game after reading this. :D Great job for the author and the whole creative design branch! :D This isn't another crappy book adaptation from video games, which is either
genuinely one of the worst things I've ever read. i rage quit this book countless times. if I didn't love Guild Wars 2 so much there's no way I would have finished it.Snaff was the only bright spot. love him.

This book wasn't very good, but I read on just to know the full story of Guild Wars 2.Some thoughts:+Snaff was a great character+The relationships between the members of Destiny's Edge were really touching, the brothership between Rytlock and Logan, the father/daughter love between Snaff and Zojja-I really hate Logan and Jennah's insta-love. He comes off as a complete dofus and she comes off as cold and manipulative. Their letters were super cringy and the dose of brainwashing from Jennah wasn'tIt's a nice background story about the mentors in the Guild Wars 2 game. Easy to read, small fantasy story.
