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

By A Customer

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 Paul's review, October 28, 2003

A Kid's Review

I liked this book. It was good because it had lots of detail. It is the third book in the Masquerade Cycle. It is based on the card game Magic: The Gathering. You do not have to read the other books in the series to understand. All you have to know was some things about the game.

The book is about a war between Keld and Jamuarra. It features characters from the cards. It is a very detailed book and is very violent.

This book is by a different author than the other books in the series because the company uses different authors. You would like this book if you play the card game. You may not like this book if you do not like books that are long with small print.

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

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.
