Amazing story, could use another narrator

Christie Golden is an amazing author and I've loved every book I've picked up from her. However the narration left something to be desired. From all the sagas and all the epics Blizzard has put out you expect Arthas to have a rich commanding voice and that does not come through in her reading.

Frostmourne hungers

A marvelous adaptation of warcraft lore which serves to expand the story of one of the greatest video games ever made, as well as crystallize it in the mind in ways gameplay never could.

Frostnourne Hungers...

Excellent storyline brings back the nostalgia for the Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne game vividly. Christie narrates this beautifully although i wish they would have added ambient background music and subtle sound effects to heighten the experience. Overall very enjoyable and offers a great insight into a few of Warcrafts major chatacters.

Excellent

It is exciting to see more of the Warcraft novel universe being made into audiobooks. I send my deepest thanks to everyone involved in making this happen. I don’t always have time to read physical books, so I was excited to listen to all of the Warcraft novels available so far. I binged Arthas and enjoyed it as much as the rest.
