3.0 out of 5 stars Great story on its own, but..., August 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Prophecy (Magic the Gathering: Masquerade Cycle, Bk. III) (Mass Market Paperback)

Prophecy was a great book on its own, but it fit in the Masquerade Cycle awkwardly, at best. It contains some vital plot advancement for the series (The Artifacts Cycle, Rath and Storm, and the Masquerade Cycle), but it seems to be tangled up in a relatively unrelated story. I'm hoping it all gets tied together in the upcoming Invasion Cycle, and this book doesn't prove to be relatively random...

4.0 out of 5 stars Dissenting Opinion, February 19, 2002

"rem21" (Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prophecy (Magic the Gathering: Masquerade Cycle, Bk. III) (Mass Market Paperback)

Posted reviews seem to rate the Magic books based on their faithfulness to "official" storylines or whatever's supposed to be written on the back of the cards. In other words, detail over the body of the tale. Let me remind you: Magic is a fantasy world, a world is a living thing, not subject to unbending rules culled from tournaments nor trades; and as fantasy, is meant to give life to drama, not just the cast. As one who has served in the military, I salute Mr. Moore's achievement of depicting real, desperate human emotions despite the temptations of a patently fantastic setting. An immersing read that stands on its own merits.

3.0 out of 5 stars definately OK, August 9, 2000

This review is from: Prophecy (Magic the Gathering: Masquerade Cycle, Bk. III) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was definately OK as a story that learns you more about the background of the card set. I don't think it's the best one in the series though (but then I haven't read many Magic books yet).
