an admission Thrall is not my favorite Warcraft Universe character A book centered around him did not strike me as an interesting read, and my first notion was to skip it But when I learned that in addition to being Thrall centric it also covered important elements concerning the Dragon Aspects, as well as the ongoing struggles with the Twilight s Hammer, I felt compelled to take it up and give it a thorough read through.The result perhaps an understandably mixed I go into this review with an admission Thrall is not my favorite Warcraft Universe character A bo...Thrall Twilight of the
