I recommend this book to fantasy lovers. In the book there is battles with swords, bows, etc. I also recommend this book to gamers also(follows warcraft's and world of warcraft's story line).


This book follows a person named Arthas, son of a noble king. In the book it talks about his childhood, and his friends. Later in the book when he was 11 years old he met a girl named Jaina Proudmoore, they were best friends throughout the story. When Arthas reaches adulthood he is put into battle against the first wave of the Burning Legion, the Orcs. As he battles on against the demonic races, he falls in love with his really good friend Jaina. After awhile, they notice a plague going through the land killing off civilians, they later find out after they die the plague re-animates there bodies and they become undead. They find out they are called the scourge, and Arthas tries to find whoever created this plague and kill him. Later on he finds a powerful sword called frostmourne and he would use it to kill off the leaders of the scourge. Arthas later finds out that he was possessed by a orc warlock inside the sword and was destined to lead the scourge.


I rated this book five stars because it was an awesome book. There is tons of battles. This book will just keep you on your feet the whole time because it has suprising moments the whole time.
