Format:Mass Market Paperback
While this is not the exceptional book that Torment is, Judgment is still very good. The characters are very well written and many seem to have more depth than in previous books of the cycle. The plot primarily follows Kamahl and his actions now that he has the Mirari, the characteristics and alliances of the Magic colour wheel come through strongly as he attempts to use the Mirari without losing himself to it.
It is not a conclusion to the cycle that everyone will like but it is original within the Magic world so far. The author’s involvement with the plot is a clear advantage and Judgment works as a book alone, as part of the cycle and within the ongoing story of Otaria. It creates an interesting setting on a continent that has changed markedly from that introduced in Odyssey.
This is a good book, not one that can be read very easily without Odyssey and Torment but certainly worth buying.

Great Book, Some Flaws
29 July 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
When reading this book your attentiveness to it will weaver a lot. Like most Magic books,many events are happening at once, and unfortunantly there all not that interesting. And in many of the events that do occur, their constant aperance or relevence to each other make the story seem repetitve. Plus the author doesn't seem to hold true to rules he sets for his characters. By "rules" I mean personality and phisical abilites. One moment a character will have no trouble takeing out an oppenent and the next he'll be nearly killed when taking on someone who is supposed to be "weaker." Enough with all these negitive comments, you would think I would give this only 1 star. This book, through all of its troubles does have some good features. The sudden character changes will surprise you and the plot twists will have you on the edge of your seat. The descriptions are of nothing short of excelence. The greatest aspect of this book though is that you don't have to read the first two books ahead of this one. As Judgment's storyline progress it explains everything that has happened in the cycle and I mean everything. Overall this book is a great conclustion to the cycle and once again leaves you with the question "Whats next?".

Not as interesting as Chainer's Torment
21 Sep 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The book gives and ending to the Odyssey Cycle. It does its job dutifully, and brings the whole story to full circle. However, it doesn't impress me particularly with the story nor the writing. This is not to say that it is bad, but it is not excellent either (hence the 3 stars). The ending is again kind of sloopy (like Chainer's Torment), and doesn't really explain what happens next for Kahmahl or Jeska. I guess it will have to continue in Onslaught.

Good Book
9 Sep 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was a good read and a good conclusion to the Odyssey Block.
The book picks up right where Torment left off - Chainer is dead and Cabal City is in ruins. Kamahl has finally come to wield the Mirari, however his designs for it are not necesarily good ones. He disguises his designs for power by deluding himself into believing that he is the one to unite his people, since he wields the Mirari. As the book progresses however, it becomes clear that Kamahl has been driven practically insane by the power of the artifact and his desire for control. Will he return to his senses? You will have to read to find out! Meanwhile, Laquatus, foiled again by Empress Llawan in his attempts to get the Mirari for his own personal benefit, remains stuck in his portal prison. That is, until one day, when he discovers one of the infamous sub-continent tunnels which leads to his escape. With Laquatus up to his old tricks again, the continent is once again in for a vicious cycle of lies, false alliances and deception.
While the book is good and the plot intriguing, it does have its dull and confusing moments. Therefore, I have to rate it only four stars. However this was an excellent conclusion to the Odyssey Block and, as always, leaves us wondering, "What next?"
