This review is from: Magic 9 / Peace Shall Sleep (Magic the Gathering, No 9) (Mass Market Paperback)
Reod Dai has been buying Dragon eggs from a dwarf for a while now. So when he does not want to buy them it comes as a shock to the dwarf family. They are then stuck with dragon eggs which are starting to hatch. After the house is destroyed by one of the hatching whelps Reod Dai, as luck would have it, walks by and save them by blowing up the dragon whelp. They then head toward an elf village, where Reod Dai is put into jail..END

Great book, but could be improved,
By C. Bedford Crenshaw "the Rebel Rockhopper" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Magic 9 / Peace Shall Sleep (Magic the Gathering, No 9) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have a sentimental view of Fallen Empires (FE), as it was my first Magic expansion. This book is set in the storyline of FE, with a few changes. An interesting story with an intriguing plot, it still lacks a certain intangible that would have pushed it over the top. But, if you can get a hold of a copy of the book, you will enjoy it.

War ravages Sarpadia while men and dwarves find love..,
By C. T. Hunter "chips_books" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Magic 9 / Peace Shall Sleep (Magic the Gathering, No 9) (Mass Market Paperback)
All of Sarpadia has entered a time of war and chaos, where nothing but distrust exists between the races and suffering abounds throughout the lands. Amidst all of this, Reod Dai the "mud wizard" and Tamun the dwarf fall in love. And Peace Shall Sleep is a simple story focusing in on this unusual relationship and the adventures the lovers undergo traveling and deal-making between the lands of mountain dwarves, elves, humans, goblins, and orcs. The storyline starts out with a lot of potential, with complex characters having extremely rich histories, but it seems the author may have been a bit overly optimistic about how much she could accomplish with this single novel. The book ends up jumping around a lot and introducing side stories that never get a chance to get wound up.
This novel is centered around the time of the Fallen Empires expansion set, and a lot of effort was made to include creatures from the set. Thrulls and thallids, as well as dragons make strong appearances that flesh out the story and bring more diversity to the MTG landscape. The writing style is really good, especially this being Sonia Orin Lyris' first novel, but the suspense is for the most part lacking any depth and the story takes on a very predictable (close to boring) feel. Basically, you'll probably like this one if you enjoyed the previous MTG books, but don't be fooled by all the 5-star reviews, its not the best of the series. 2 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

And peace shall sleep,
By "feshtof" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Magic 9 / Peace Shall Sleep (Magic the Gathering, No 9) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you are a player of M:TG, then this will fill in some flavor holes. If not you may feel a little lost, but it will still grab you. Very good book, wish the newer ones were as solid as the old ones. Buy and enjoy
