Excellent end to a series
12 May 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was an excellent end to the Onslaught book cycle. Even though I am sorry to see it go for now, this book was a good end to the entire series taking place in Dominaria. Yes, that's right, they are leaving Dominaria for a few cycles and card sets and will be back later. If you haven't read Onslaught and Legions yet, then read them before you read this book. You will need to.

Like the books . . . but this one is bad
5 Jan 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Probably most of us who buy these things will buy them regardless of quality, but I have just about reached my limit. I am disappointed in the quality of this novel. Much like the old joke about army chow, "It was terrible and the portion was too small."
1. The novel was much thinner than I am used to. If the prices are going to be raised, I would like to at least have as much reading material as before.
2. Considering the writing quality, maybe the author was pressed to even fill as much space as he did. The characters are almost universally as two-dimensional as the "unmen" were in the story and their static personalities clashed with the dynamism of the setting; the plot was repetitive, and the comic relief relied on juvenile body humor. Karona's personality was the only bright spot in the novel, displaying a dynamic character throughout the story.
3. This wouldn't bother me so much if it weren't that I know that WoTC can do better. The Artifacts Cycle and the Ice Age Cycle were much better than this. The Brothers' War novel, for instance, had compelling characters that developed through the story, with real psychological drama, etc. I really felt something reading it, other than "Gee, was that it?" Maybe the target market has shifted for the novels, but nobody told me.
Well, you've been warned.

A very captivating novel
13 May 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This final book in the Onslaught cycle is a diffenate grand finale to the other exciting novels by J. R. King. This book will hold your imagination all the while. I read the book in a day and one night. Highly recommended.
