I ordered this book because I loved the warcraft computer games. More to the point I loved the character introduced in warcraft III reign of chaos Arthas Menethil. Like MacBeth he is the prime example of a tragic hero. Anyone who has played the games WC 3 and The Frozen Throne knows the fall from grace which forges the Lich King. However, if like me you wanted a back story to the relationship between the young prince and other key charcaters (Uther, Muradin and especially Jaina Proudmoore) This is the novel you seek. You are offered a glimpse of his childhood and his struggles growing up. The romantic element between him and Jaina only adds fuel to the building climax where he falls from the light into utter darkness and pure madness. Even though you know how the story will end, you cannot help wanting to read the next chapter. I was under the impression this book would last several weeks of light reading before bed. I was finished it within one. A very good piece of literature for any fan of the warcraft world. Props to Christie Golden for her portrayal of Arthas.
