Fantastic read,
By
This review is from: The Moons of Mirrodin (Mirrodin Cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Moons of Mirrodin is the first of the books in the Mirrodin Cycle, written by Will McDermot it is definitely worth the money to buy. In this book you are introduced to the harsh metal world of Mirrodin, and taken on a journey through its vast lands with the main character Glissa Sunseeker.Any fan of Magic: The Gathering will enjoy this book. Not only is it written fantastically but also, it gives you the story behind the many Magic cards. Ever wondered how Glissa knows Slobad? Or why Bosh has lost all his memories? All this is answered in this superb book. Even for non-magic players this book will be a joy to read, since there is no relation to the actual cards. So to sum it all up, this is a deeply engrossing book that is guaranteed to keep you reading to the very end, and when finish will have you asking for more! So if you’ve got an interest into the story behind the flavour text of the cards then buy this book, and if not then buy it anyway!

This review is from: The Moons of Mirrodin (Mirrodin Cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is really really gripping. I had hard times putting it down. The story line is hard to understand for the first 2 chapters but then you get gripped into the strange world of mirrodin. And soon you will find your self glued to a book instead of a tv.
I would recomend this book to anybody who has MAGIC THE GATHERING Mirrodin cards. Not only as this book shows where the quotes from the cards actually come from but also helps you to understand the cards more, which helps you to become a better player. I just odered the next book and cant wait till it arrives.

A Lukewarm Magic novel at best,
By Kyle Stewart - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Moons of Mirrodin (Mirrodin Cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
Moons of Mirrodin falls drastically short of McDermotts previous work in Judgement, and even more drastically short of the preceding Onslaught cycle. While it deals with an interesting world it just doesn't "feel" like fantasy. For a long time Magic novels have proudly combined fantasy with scifi, but this clearly felt to much like scifi. In addition he got characteristics of the colors wrong, lacked much character development, and refused to give any sense of politics to it forgetting a long tradition of MTG politics involving many points of view that in this novel have been traded in for just Glissa's.

Looks good only in comparison to Onslaught cycle,
By Alexander Scott - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Moons of Mirrodin (Mirrodin Cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
Coming-of-age story meets Magic mutliverse. Classic teenage-angst, rebellion against authority, headstrong belligerence used to solve every problem, youth-as-hero with establishment-as-villain . . . I could go on, but you know the plot. It could hardly be more cliche or more orthodox to Joseph Campbell's formulation of mythology. It isn't that I dislike the story, it just seems tired. "Moons of Mirrodin" could just as easily be "Star Wars" or "The Matrix" or any other post-modern formulation of the classic myth. Maybe you young turks will resonate with it.On the plus side, McDermott seems to know how to draw out the suspense. I'm genuinely curious to see what direction the story will move in next (although McDermott is not writing the next novel, Darksteel Eye). And some of us will read this novel and the next one for no other reason than WotC controls our minds and pocketbooks. Oh well. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Totally Awesome Book,
By WayneXtreme "Reading Fiend" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Moons of Mirrodin (Mirrodin Cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
I've played Magic the Gathering on and off several times over the years and have enjoyed the game whenever I play. I've seen the books in stores, but wasn't too sure about them, but I eventually bought this one (Moons of Mirrodin).
The story takes place on the world of Mirrodin and is centered around an elf named Glissa who discoveres that she has a very important destiny after her family is killed. She then learns that the attack on her family was apart of a sinister plot in which she too was supposed to be killed. Now she's traveling through the world of Mirrodin trying to find the person responsible for her families death. She also manages to make a couple of friends along the way to help her on her quest. However, she learns that the attempt on her life is only a small piece of a much larger puzzle that involves the entire world of Mirrodin. This is the first MTG book that I have ever read and I absolutely loved it. The book started off rather slow in like the first 20 pages and I was really worried that this was going to be a major yawn-fest, but things quickly picked up and stayed interesting throughout the entire book. The one thing that I could see that needs improving is by getting a better editor/better editorial staff, there were quite a few misprints. Overall, this book is a definite 10/10. I'm already in the middle of the second book and it does not look to disappoint. |
