Christie Golden never fails to impress me.

I used to play World of Warcraft religiously and still dabble with the game occasionally but more or less for the story. That is the sole reason I have not cut ties with the World of Warcraft because I love its lore. So whenever I can get my hands on a new book that continues its story I'm all over it. "Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects" is a book worthy of praise and stays true to the fans of the game.

I originally thought it would be strange having a different author write about the Dragon Aspects since Richard A. Knaak has been a pioneer in their character development. I was wrong. The only character I found to be slightly different from the way Knaak originally portrayed her is Ysera - but nothing major. The story itself revolved heavily around the struggles of the dragonflights with, main character, Thrall being at the center of it all. Thrall's great journey of self-discovery and healing was, in my opinion, fantastic!

The story paced itself well and revealed mysteries that I've been wondering about for a long time which I am ultimately satisfied with. My only criticism is that she tried to emphasize something a little too much and it become annoying, but that's a very minor criticism. Overall the story was really great and I tip my hat to Golden. She stays true to the fans and is one of the best Warcraft novelist Blizzard has writing for them.
