- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Title: Arthas: He would do anything to save his kingdom... Story Summary:The land of Azeroth. A land still recovering from a war with a strange race known as the the Orcs. The hero's of the last war have become legends in their own time and have had son's and daughters that are destined to become hero's themselves. With the Orc's will broken with the destruction of their portal no other threat has made itself apparent and the kingdoms of the land slowly become complacent to the normal threats of the world. That is until a surprise attack destroys a fortress that guards the frozen wastes. None survive except the young son the of the castle's lord. Whoever or whatever destroyed the fortress fades back into the wastes and bides it time. Waiting for the right time to show itself again. During this time the young prince Arthas goes from childhood to adulthood. He has everything that a prince could ask for but, there is always something that is lacking. It always seems that he is not good enough or that something is always in the way of him accomplishing his goals. Despite this Artha's successfully complete's his training to become a paladin and begins the long process of being groomed to be the next king of Lordaeron.That is until the day that a report comes in about a mysterious sickness that is affecting a remote village. Tasked with finding out more about the sickness Artha's and soldiers set out and soon arrive at the stricken village. Nothing moves except the dead and they are hungry.This is the beginning of the dark path that Arthas will walk to realize his dark destiny. Every decision he makes from that point on is in service to one ideal: He will do anything he has to do to save his people, even if he has to betray all he ever held dear.Conclusion:This is a pretty good adaptation of what is going on in WOW 3 and Wrath of the Lich King. Some of the details may seem a bit rushed but that is because a lot of events and characters are covered in more detail in other books. Arthas himself can be a little one dimensional sometimes but I guess that is to show that he has the belief that he can never be good enough in any situation. Sometimes though you got to wonder how nobody noticed something was seriously wrong with the guy. Still all in all a good read as the story moves at a good pace and the action keeps going as well. Definitely worth a read if our a fan of WOW or just want to learn about the world without playing the game. m.a.c
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I actually wanted to read this book because I have been fascinated with the story of Arthas, A hero who turned against his people. As such, i was really hoping that this book would provide me with the complete story on what happened to Arthas as he was corrupted by Frostmoure. Instead aside from a few good stories such as the raising of his horse Invincible back from the dead, the book only mimicked what was in the Warcraft 3 game. This left me very much disappointed as I really want to explore period between Arthas getting Frostmoure and his arrival in Lordaeron. I also wanted to read more of how he accomplished the fall of Lordaeron. This book did not really gave me what I was really looking for. I would have given this book 2 stars but i will give it three stars because the beginning of this book was good. I like how the author retold the story of the fall of Stormwind from Arthas' perspective. That retelling was good, complete and entertaining. Sadly, this good aspect of the book did not spill towards the other chapters.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5as expected, this book was marvelous. i have always been very partial to the world of warcraft lore surrounding arthas, so i was very pleased to have a book full of it, in detail, from his childhood, to his rise as the lich king. the only thing missing would be the end story, however i of course realize that would be impossible as, 1. at the time this book was written, there was no end story yet, and 2. i guess they kinda want to sucker you in to playing the world of warcraft content.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is about a prince who turned into a deat king.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I need to give in and catalog my collection of video game novelizations. I'm not exactly ashamed of them... although possibly I should be.
That said, Christie Golden turns out workmanlike product and the story of Arthas is genuinely interesting. There wasn't much here that I didn't know from watching the Warchraft III cut-scenes on YouTube, but it was a perfectly acceptable bathtime read nonetheless. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5While reading this book I read through some of the reviews, and saw that there were a lot of complaints about the book. I've played the Warcraft games and World of Warcraft, I thought I knew the entire story of Arthas when I went to read this book and I found that I clearly did not know everything. Even as I read through events I already knew, I found myself learning more about Arthas and how he felt, what he thought.
There were some complaints about how much emphasis the author placed on Arthas's horse, Invincible, to the point where someone even complained that the first thing Arthas did was raise his horse from the grave. Clearly some readers seem to miss understand and not fully comprehend the true bond between a horse and his rider, especially one that Arthas had seen born. There was a bond between them from the first moment, and it devastated Arthas so much that he not only did he cause the downfall of his steed, but failed to save him. Arthas's story is one of a young man finding himself to be only average, of not being able to come to terms with his weaknesses and realise that he had strengths that he just couldn't see. He had the possibility to be a great king of his people, instead his own doubt in his abilities took him down a dark path.
The novel isn't just about Arthas, you also learn a lot more about Sylvanas and Jaina. For those who know their roles in Arthas' life, you will know how painful it was for them - this book only emphasises it tendfold.
