You did Arthas dirty

This is written after wc3 and by Christie Golden.

Written by her, with direction/input on lore from the devs, from what I remember reading/hearing about, from back then.

Can you give me a TLDR of what he does that makes him out to be a good person in this?

I am copying this from one of my (numerous) past responses on this subject (I have many comments made on this. This one is the most recent):

@Evilmuffin-uther

I mean the one that details his kindness towards soldiers on duty in the snow in Lordaeron (a prince bringing them hot tea), his friendship with a peasant boy, his kindness towards Taretha when at Durnholde Keep and how he refused to “use her” for the purpose she had been sent to him for. How he was upset by the realization of what she had been sent to him for, and had her just stay and chat, to provide her at least some reprieve? That one?

" At some point, about ten years ago, Blackmoore made Taretha his mistress, a position she secretly despised (there are references to strange bruises on her wrists). At some point, Arthas Menethil visited Durhholde Keep in order to watch Thrall in a fight. Arthas remained in the keep during the next night. Aedelas sent Taretha to Arthas to please him however, Arthas and Taretha were just chatting."

Arthas was literally already being driven mad when he got to Strath. (Seriously, read the book). Those events, and everything after, were specifically to drive him to take up the sword.
