Solid and serious fantasy novel - 3.5 stars out of 5
28 Feb 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book was much more complex than I expected from a Magic:The Gathering tie-in. I bought it because of the author, and I was not disappointed. It has many good elements, although one or two of them did not sit as well with me as the others. The book has a very strong start, intriguingly presenting numerous characters in diverse settings, then slowly tying them all together. Most of these characters I found fascinating. A bit of the middle of the book got a little slow on one of the plot threads, but the ending was pretty strong. Well worth checking out. I greatly enjoyed a scientist/scholar character - unusual for a fantasy novel! The quest for a lost city scenario was really cool!

An impressive addition to the MTG series
16 May 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is another stand-alone, enjoyable fantasy novel loosely based on the MTG trading card game. Not the best I've read, but still quite enjoyable.
In 'Dark Legacy', you follow two separate plot lines until they inevitably come together. Yunnie, a human outcast with powerful secrets in his past, tries and fails to bring peace between minotaurs and elves. After discovering a dark plot by an evil sorceress he finds himself physically unable to blow her cover, leading to an extremely frustrated protagonist that must act on his own to do what he knows is right. Maeveen, a hired guard captain for an illustrious explorer and scholar, finds herself enmeshed in political turmoil and sent on a wild goose chase after a 'powerful' artifact. These two plot lines come together with dramatic effects on an entire region.
The story contains a lot of enjoyable and believable interactions between many well fleshed-out characters. Plenty of intense fighting and magic make for an exciting read with a few of the familiar MTG icons (Carnivorous Plants) thrown in to justify the label on the cover. Overall, this is a nice easy and fun read that should please most fantasy readers.

Dark and compelling are what best describes this book!
4 May 1998
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Even though the characters are a little flat, their unique personality more than makes up for it. Yunnie is more of a mystery than anyone else since he claims that he is minotaur (even though he is human) and that his past is shrouded in mystery. Well written and imaginative.
