Arthas: Rise of the Lich King (World of Warcraft, #6)

I went into this book thinking that it was going to be a lot like the lore sheets that are online. No real story, just fact in a oddly structured format. I've never read the other lore books and I was told this was the one to read so I grabbed it.
It was strange to find that their was an actual progression of character in Arthas and you can spot the points where he begins to fall from the Light. Golden does an awesome job at making the story understandable even if the reader hasn't played any of the Warcraft games. I think people that haven't played at least World of Warcraft will have a bit of a time with visualizing each place and character. I found that even though I hadn't played Warcraft III, I was still able to grasp these things being as I play WoW.
So in short, this is definitely a gamer's book, but a face value I took it as doom and gloom but its not. There's romance and determination, cunning and deceitfulness. It definitely made me want to pick up Golden's other lore books.
In case you're curious, I play Mornaria - 80 blood elf Holy Paladin on the Turalyon server. :)
