Read in February, 2011

I was very happy with this book because of its detail to each fight seen to its most simple parts. This was my first WOW book and I have not read and Warcraft books Either. I do currently play WOW and I personally like it. I have never played Warcraft but I am intending to purchase Warcraft III. I do not often like to read but books like this one can get me into reading.

The first part the caught my attention was Stormwind was overtaken by the Orc's. I was very surprised the news and I think that this was the first sign of a Horde when the guard said "They have formed a "horde" big enough to the the land shore to shore". I was not very interested again until invincible was killed by the spike and Arthas was never the same. The beginning of the main story started when Arthas was called to lead a expedition to find the source of the plague that was killing his people. I found the climax to be when Arthas and Muradin found the cavern that held Frostmourne the legendary runeblade. I was shocked when Arthas killed his own father when he returned. This is when the name Death knight first appeared.
