Arthas: Rise of the Lich King by Christie Golden
4.0
This book covers the story of one of the best known, and most influential characters in the Warcraft universe, up until he was at his peak as the Lich King. His main story concluded by the end of the WoW expansion Wrath of the Lich King (released 2008), but his shadow has loomed in the background ever since, especially through Anduin Wrynn's storyline all the way up until right now in Shadowlands.
While I wouldn't exactly call this book great literature, it is certainly worth a read if you enjoy playing the Warcraft games. You most likely already know most of his story if you've played Warcraft or World of Warcraft, but I found that this book filled in the moments in-between all the great tragedies and victories quite nicely.
You will of course run into other characters that you know, such as Jaina Proudmoore, Uther the Lightbringer, Calia Menethil, Sylvanas Windrunner, Kael'thas Sunstrider, Illidan Stormrage, Muradin Bronzebeard, Medivh, Varian Wrynn, Thrall, Ner'Zhul, Mal'Ganis, Kel'Thuzad, and many more. And of course his beloved steed Invincible.
