Second half was a better story than the first half. The romance between Arthas and Jaina was not well written and came across as corny.

This book follows Prince Arthas Menethil on his journey from young innocent boy to Lich King.
Well written and enjoyable story with many heartwrenching moments.
Even though I knew things were coming in the story and knew that things were happening didn't change the fact that I cried at multiple different parts.
I have and always will feel so sorry for Sylvanas and what Arthas put her through.
I read Blood of the Highbourne by Micky Neilson before reading this, however I feel that the short story should be read after this or partway through, though you keep things simple I would say after.

I like the World of Warcraft novels, and Christie Golden is a very good author. The lore behind the game is interesting and explains a lot of things I might encounter when doing quests, raiding, or 5-player dungeons.
These books are written in a way that anyone could enjoy them, even if they don't play World of Warcraft. You don't have to have prior knowledge in order to understand them. I think that's one of the things I love most. They don't draw on previous novels, even if they are events that happened after the events in another book. You can jump into any of the books in any order and they'll all make perfect sense.

Probably the best best book I have read. Great insight on Arthas story from his perspective.
