amazing book. the references to the past (brothers war, phyrexian invasion, urza, etc.) are very good, i look forward to book 2.

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...

If you like magic the gathering novels you will really like this one. Very well written and a very fun read. I am looking forward to the next book.
