Even if you do not play Magic, you can still enjoy this one., Oct 9 2000
By A. Tresca - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ashes of the Sun (Mass Market Paperback)
Even if you do not play the Magic card game, you can still enjoy this novel. Ashes of the Sun is the story of Ayesh, a former wrestler who is the last of her great civilization. In Ayesh's world, storytelling is an art, and tales can be traded for food or other goods. Ayesh wants her people to be remembered, and so she travels the land, telling her tale. To her frustration she finds that stories often change each time they are told, and the great cities of Neah that were her home will not be remembered as they were. Ready to die, and with nothing left to live for, she is captured by Minotaurs! Forced into the middle of intricate Minotaur politics, she sees and does things she never thought possible. In the midst of her unusual captivity, she discovers she does want to live after all. Braddock creates a new world full of surprise and intrigue. This book was a page turner, and I was up all night finishing it.

Great book, READ IT!, Oct 29 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ashes of the Sun (Mass Market Paperback)
A Magic: The Gathering spin off it may be, but with or without the Magic label, it's still a good book! Not only is a Minotaur hierarchy created, experienced and opposed, but you, the reader, get to enjoy it all!
Flakkah! (check the book to find out what it means), READ IT!

A good book with a story to tell.., Jun 6 2006
By C. T. Hunter "chips_books" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ashes of the Sun (Mass Market Paperback)
Ashes of the Sun is another quick and fun early MTG novel. Hanovi Braddock's novel takes place in a land of Minotaurs and Goblins and Humans, where each race believes itself superior and none understand the others. The story has a pretty good plot with danger and excitment and (as with nearly every fantasy book) plenty of fighting. The characters in this book are what really stand out though. Not your typical heroes here, but characters with their own unique personalities and flaws. Ayesh is a stubborn human who knows that she is right about everything in the world and will not back down from anyone. Tlik is an educated goblin who sees falt in everyone but himself. Zhanrax is a powerful minotaur who could never accept equality with others races or creatures. Throughout the story, these characters make decisions and act in very believable and realistic ways. By creating these characters, Braddock has made a point about real life human behavior and politics that will make you laugh and cringe.
Listmania!
