About the Author

Scott McGough recently moved to farm country and can now compare the urban, suburban, and agrarian lifestyles. Not surprisingly, his first choice hasn’t changed since childhood: all things being equal, he’d rather be down the shore.Scott worked on The Duelist magazine before joining the Creative Team for MAGIC: THE GATHERING®. He worked on almost all the Urza/Phyrexia saga and has since written eight novels and a handful of short stories for MAGIC: THE GATHERING. All this, and yet he has only ever appeared on one Magic card. Though he finds this burden bitter and onerous, he will at least admit that that it’s a really good picture.

This review is from: Time Spiral (Time Spiral Cycle) (Magic The Gathering) (Mass Market Paperback)

It's a difficult task to write about an art form as quirky as a collectible card game. Scott McGough does a credible job; the writing is good, enjoyable to read...The problem is that I felt the story wasn't as long, broad or sweeping in scope as it should have been. I expected an epic spanning the entire world of Dominaria, featuring lots of characters; instead we visited half a dozen places, with the number of characters slightly more than that. The upside is spending time getting to know those characters and places, and yet it seemed there wasn't even as much depth there as there could have been. I don't know whose "fault" this is, whether it was McGough himself or the Magic creative department that worked out the story for him to follow...All I really know is that I was left a bit disappointed. If you want to read this book because it's a Magic: the Gathering novel, then go ahead, it's a fun read. If not, well...
