bluegoldrose 's review for:
Arthas: Rise of the Lich King
by Christie Golden
This isn't a book I'd recommend to anyone who is unfamiliar with Warcraft lore. There are a lot of character mentions and event mentions that mean nothing to a person who doesn't know this universe. Events and story threads are also glossed over that are dealt with in the games. The book also ends without a conclusion, again because this is essentially telling Arthas's life from childhood through when he begins to become a threat to Azeroth as the Lich King.
The writing style is good. Christie Golden did a good job of writing Arthas in a way that makes his transition somewhat understandable. She handles the fantastical descriptions of creatures and places in a way that makes sense even if you've never seen these creatures in the games.
I would recommend this book for someone who feels nostalgic for Warcraft. I used to play WoW, starting during the Wrath expansion pack, so this book reminded me of the time spent in that world preparing to fight the main character of this novel.
