Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War mentions the sabotage and rescue that Horde players do in the Theramore scenario and goes into more detail about the events that happen prior to Mists of Pandaria.

Vol'jin: Shadows of the Horde takes place soon after the Dagger in the Dark scenario, and even has a flashback to the events of the scenario. Of course, the author couldn't go into specifics about the heroes who accompanied Vol'Jin on that fateful mission, but it is mentioned.

Christie Golden's War Crimes comes out next Tuesday and features the trial of Garrosh after he was captured at the end of SoO.

Have you read Tides of War? It all about Jaina and the bombing of Theramore.

The shattering, tides of war, and war crimes will give you a better idea of her characterization than just wowiki summaries.

Also, if you play Mage, she is pretty much 2nd only to Khadgar as far as mages go.

They follow the lore of WoW and are generally well written. My favorite so far is Jaina Proudmore: Tides of War US Link It explains the gap between Cataclysm and Pandaria really well and shows how [Spoiler](/s "Her relationship with Thrall falls apart due to Garrosh and his acts of cruelty and his war mongering accross Kalimdor.")

Chris Metzen said at Comiccon: "Ya, the novels are pretty much considered canon, um, the funny thing is some things are less canon, we shoot for canon...typically the characters in novels are canon..." But this is true for most games, movies and other forms of media that make their way to book format.

A full list of the novels and the order they are in can be found here and if you like Manga they can be found here.

Edit: I messed up the formatting more times than I would like to admit.

Alleria has not confronted Sylvanas, yet. That meetup is heavily hinted in 'Before the Storm' novel, the prelude to Battle for Azeroth (similar to 'Tides of War' preluding Mists of Pandaria and 'War Crimes' preluding Warlords of Draenor). There are two noteworthy conversations I'll point out:

On the Vindicaar when Vareesa is basically filling in Alliera on what happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVc2OK2L_KA

The other one, is when Alliera and Turalyon return to Stormwind and reminisce about their statues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k7V8jTGZE0

Editors divergent note/opinion: One thing I'll add which I think is a slight fumble on Blizzard's side is that the latter conversation is something you need to kinda hunt for as an Alliance player, and when Alleria returns to Silvermoon, it is covered in a Horde only scenario (which weirdly covers Nightborne recruiting). There was a clear story thread that feels a bit jumbled since you see this on the Horde side and it doesn't mean that much to them, while you never see this on the Alliance side and there is a clear buildup for that scenario for them but it is far more 'hidden' than the first conversation I linked. My solution to mitigate the fumble would have been at least in the Void Elf scenario to deliver a lot more expostion and Alleria's afterthoughts and Blizzard nudges to get you to play Horde and experience that Nightborne recruitment/Silvermoon scenario.
