highly recommended

having played the warcraft games it was great to hear a more in depth story about the rise of the litch king.

only downside is that the audio wasnt quite loud enough and i had a hard time hearing some pieces while i drove at higher speeds.

Good.

great book, arthas mental battle with himself was a great progression. You dont need to start these books chronologically, but you'll want more afterwards, be prepared.
