What listeners say about World of Warcraft: Arthas - Rise of the Lich King

Highly rated for:

The Audiobook Tells The Gripping And Tragic Story Of Arthas's Transformation Into The Lich King, Delving Into The Rich Lore And Backstories Of The Warcraft Universe. While Praised For Its Emotional Storytelling And Immersive Narrative That Fleshes Out This Iconic Villain, Some Felt The Writing Was Melodramatic At Times, With Clichéd Fantasy Elements And A Romance-novel Style That Didn't Always Fit The Tone. The Narration By The Author Herself Was A Point Of Contention, With Some Finding It Monotonous And Lackluster For Such An Epic Tale. Nonetheless, For Fans Of The Warcraft Games And Lore, The Book Offers A Captivating Exploration Of Arthas's Descent And The Events Leading Up To His Becoming The Dreaded Lich King.

The flagship

This is what made Warcraft what it is. Great story of Arthas truly shows his nature and the kind of person he is, more than what the game shows him as.

I enjoyed it!

I enjoyed it. The narration is not as bad as what other reviewers say. Yes it could of been better if she could do the male voices better but it was better than many other narrators I’ve listened too. The story was good. It’s been a long time since I played the game so don’t remember everything but seemed like everything was in there. I wish it would have gone more in detail in some sections but overall I would recommend this book to Warcraft fans.

Justice for Arthas

This book brings a new level of understanding behind our much loved prince before his turn to darkness. I could feel the WC3 cinematics as the book was read to me. Magnificent job, can't wait to listen to the rest of them!!
