This review is from: Shattered Chains (Magic: The Gathering) (No 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

The characters from Arena and Whispering Woods (the first two MTG novels) are brought together in this book. Noreen (Garth's Benalian lover from the first book) plays an important role here, having an affair with Gull before finally getting back with Garth... While this one reads a little too much like a soap opera for me, there are still some of the gory and tragic incidents that make the MTG books worth reading.

The evolution of Gull's army into a real fighting force and Greensleeve's training as a master druid are cool aspects of this book (although the appearance of Chanel the druid was not explained at all).

Overall, I wasn't too impressed by this one but I will continue reading the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Old faces, new plot, March 31, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Shattered Chains (Magic: The Gathering) (No 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

The book you should read after "Whispering Woods". Garth and Noreen from "Arena" return. Noreen, as a main character, has a fling with Gull. But she's married to Garth, a master magician! This causes guilt in Noreen and a fight near the end between Gull and Garth. Readers of "Whispering Woods" will know, along with other important plot points, that Gull has no magic. Garth appears only in beginning and end. Read "Final Sacrifice" after this

This is the fabulous continuation of Gull and Greensleeves. This book focuses more on Greensleeves and how she comes to realize her untold power.
