Christy Golden put so much detail into the book, and that's what made it great. It's almost like you're there,and she described the characters so fantastically it seemed as if they are standing next to you. The overall plot was to turn Arthas into the Lich king, but she ( MS.Golden)puts so twists in the story like flashbacks and things like that that don't happen in the game this book is based off of. Like the end of the book the way he finds the sword, the way his father dies so many of these ways the author crated the unexspected that without would have madeit boring. From this book you learn not always to trust people but you're dreams and you're heart, and that they're is not allways happy endings to storys and that good doesn't allways win the battle sometimes nobody wins. I would not recomend this for people under the age of 12. There are words that they would not understand.
