Worth the read,
This review is from: Chainer's Torment (Odyssey Cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
Chainer's Torment is a great book and well worth reading. The book gives the reader a good view into the life of a Cabalist and how their lives are just positions of the First. Although the book may seem a little hard to follow in parts but the themes of the book are brilliant and there is, in my opinion no better way to have written Chainer's Torment.

This review is from: Chainer's Torment (Odyssey Cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
One for all fans of Magic the Gathering, Chainer's Torment is a great insight into the Cabal and the Mirari. Focusing on a young man named Chainer, it's the tale of how absolute power corrupts and destroys, how friendship can be stronger bonds then any, and how one man's choice can change the world.Recommended: a book for everyone, even if your not a player of the game. Full of thrills and chills, it will have you sitting on the edge of your seat till the end. (also see Judgement, Onslaught, Scourge)

Excellent Read!,
By The Association "Tim K." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chainer's Torment (Odyssey Cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a superb read. It is, by far, the best of the three Odyssey block books.
In a nutshell, the first half or so covers the same timespan as Odyssey, just from Chainer's point of view. While Kamahl is off chasing the Mirari, Chainer is developing his magical skills and is rapidly ascending the ranks as the Cabal's best dementist. With the aid of the Mirari (he is the only person so far who has been able to control it), he seems virtually unstoppable. The view into the Cabal's dark intentions is quite entertaining, as we learn more and more about the mysterious Calchexas, the Cabal Patriarch. The book ends in a big climax and leaves readers with an excellent starting point for Judgment. This book earns a well-deserved 5 stars. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

good, but not brothers war,
By SQUIRRELS - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chainer's Torment (Odyssey Cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
an awesome book, but im questioning whether is really good, or just good. Odyssey was, i hate to put it this way, but, garbage. I advise ANYONE to stay away from anything written by Vance Moore. i think what made torment seem so good, is that odyssey so bad. though the book was extremely good, emotional, the ending was nice too, i look foward to scott's next book for magic, he seems promising just by reading torment.

A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chainer's Torment (Odyssey Cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
Chainer's torment,an astounding tale of the world of magic and a young cabalist in Cabal City.Book two of the odyssey cycle.Chainer is ordered by the Cabal Leader(A.K.A.The First) to meet up with Kamahl the barbarian,a pit fighter with a high chance of winning the mirari, an orb which is a well of infinite energy.Chainer and Kamahl become the house team for the cabal but split up when the First ask them to take a dive against Kamahl's sister, Jeska and a dwarf, Balthor. Kamahl refuses so Chainer takes them on himself. When he fights them he gets his arm blown off.The message in this book is saying that "with power comes responsibility".If you cannot contain your own power you will become only the broken shell of a human being. |
