War Crimes by Christie Golden
5.0
I must say, I believe this to be the best Warcraft novel Christie Golden has ever written. She is incredibly masterful when handling the complex and utterly unique personalities of the upper echelons of Warcraft society; Horde, Alliance and "neutral" alike.
Its the trial of the century. Finally Garrosh Hellscream will be forced to face all his sins, watch as each action and atrocity he has ever made is dissected in front of him and used as fodder to fuel the fires of hate, in the hope that he will be sentenced to execution. But there is hope, even though everyone feels he deserves none, and he not only has an accuser but also a defender, who is fighting for understanding and the chance for Garrosh to think, lament and change while imprisoned for life.
This isn't just a trial for the condemned orc though. It will force many others to think over their own actions and beliefs, question their choices and offer them the same opportunity as they provide evidence to condemn or defend young Hellscream; the chance to grow and become, possibly, a better being.
