Ratings and reviews

As a former World Of Warcraft player, I wanted to learn more about my favourite character, the Lich King, so I gave this book a read, and boy, I wasn't dissapointed. I absolutely flew through this book, which hasn't happened since I last read a Harry Potter book. Every chapter is as as good as the previous, they all contain information vital to Arthas's journey from Prince to King. All in all, this book gets full marks, which I don't give out often, but it deserves it.

Great novel. Starts off with Arthas young to his teens and into young adulthood. we see what twisted him to meet his sealed fate; to be the Lich King. it spans from W3 reign of chaos to W3 Frozen throne, in detail to fill in what we missed or did not play in the game. My heart still throbs as I image the scenes. I just want to watch W3 and WOTLK cinematics over and over again.

Great book for those that loved Arthas as a paladin and loves him more as the death knight. Goes deeper into the battles and struggles he had as both warriors of the light and the dark. Gives more insight into various victories that the warcraft 3 game did not expand much on.
