A land still recovering from a war with a strange race known as the the Orcs. Title: Arthas: He would do anything to save his kingdom. Sadly, this good aspect of the book did not spill towards the other chapters. That retelling was good, complete and entertaining. I like how the author retold the story of the fall of Stormwind from Arthas' perspective. I would have given this book 2 stars but i will give it three stars because the beginning of this book was good. This book did not really gave me what I was really looking for. I also wanted to read more of how he accomplished the fall of Lordaeron. This left me very much disappointed as I really want to explore period between Arthas getting Frostmoure and his arrival in Lordaeron. 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. 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. I actually wanted to read this book because I have been fascinated with the story of Arthas, A hero who turned against his people.
