A Great Read!
25 Sep 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Having skipped both the Mirrodin and Kamigawa cycle of books out of sheer lack of interest, I decided to pick up the Ravnica novel, as the summary finally sounded intriguing enough for me.
If you thought the Mirrodin and/or Kamigawa cycle of books were disappointing, you need to get this one! It is, hands down the best M:TG novel I've read since Torment, back in Odyessy block.
In essence, the plot is a series of murder mysteries, combined with power grabs by enemy guilds, etc. The story has its twists however. Just when you think you've got it all sorted out, Herndon turns your notions upsidedown. The ending is surprising to say the least. If it weren't part of a cycle of books, I'd say it could almost be a stand-alone novel.
While some of the characters are rather stereotypical/cliche, I didn't find it all that bothersome. I didn't even reflect on that until I'd actually finished the novel.
A big thumbs up to author Cory Herndon. I'm glad to see that he will be writing the remaining two novels as well.

great book

I just finished the new Ravnica novel, and have to day that it is quite possibly the best book I've read in the Magic: The Gathering series. The characters in the novel are well done and very entertaining. All in all a good entertaining read, even if one isn't familiar with the card game that the novels are based out of.

A Fun Read
14 Nov 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I enjoyed this book a lot but I have to agree with the other reviewer that the fight scenes were a bit hard to follow at times. If you enjoy magic the gathering novels you will probably enjoy this one as it was a fun read and I will buy the next two books in the series for sure.
