I'm not a big reader of fantasy material. Despite that I've been playing Warcaft for awhile now and have been a bit curious about the books and where they took off from the game or if they were completely different. Now I know. Although a quick read it was much different than the game (although at the end I read that that story was for the original games and not the MMO). I'll probably read one that has to do with Cataclysm, but not sure how much more than that.

I am a Warcraft lore fan. I have enjoyed the stories told in this world since Warcraft 2. This book was written for fans like me.
It is very well detailed, and follows the journey of Arthas, his fall, and his rise in Darkness. The book ties elements of Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne, but adding very detailed context to the actions and dialog of characters from those games.
This book also does a great job of adding in additional media tie-ins (trans-media) to the ongoing comic series, and of course World of Warcraft itself.

One of my very favorite World of Warcraft books. I love Christie Golden's work, and this one is especially awesome. The Scourge storyline has always fascinated me, and this book does an especially good job of showing us the very beginning of it. Plus, I get Sylvanas backstory, which I always love.
If I could give this book 6 stars out of 5 I would.
