Hard to rate this book,
By
This review is from: Planeswalker: Artifacts Cycle, Book II (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is hard to rate because it is filled with lots of important content from Urza's Saga card set but it is also long and at some points not very exciting. This book is drastically different than "Brother's War" so beware, if you're looking for another novel like that. This book gives a lot of insight about Urza and his mental/emotional state after losing his brother to the Phyrexian beasts. I thought it was very interesting to see his reactions and decisions he made with a creature that is one of the enemy, Xancha. She is one of the strangest characters because she is a newt like thing, and she is Phyrexian. As much as she tells Urza, he never really listens because he believes she is corrupt and misguided.I do think the ending was interesting when they were drifting the planes looking for the first plane - it compares to modern day society looking for the beginning of the universe through our telescopes. There is love, betrayal, and deception throughout that add to the emotional attachment some might feel toward the characters. I can't say this book is extremely exciting, but it's worth reading once. I not going to make any absolute statements because some of you might love it, some of you might hate it - but regardless, you need to read it if you are interested in staying up to par on the Magic: the Gathering books.

Not well thought out,
By
This review is from: Planeswalker: Artifacts Cycle, Book II (Mass Market Paperback)
This book held lots of potential. The interaction of Urza with others made for compelling reading. Yet, by jumping back and forth through time, the book has no rhythm. It becomes painful to read. You become easily lost as to what is happening. Skip this book and read Books 1 and 3 of the series, as they are far better.

Horrid,
By Harkius "harkius" (Laramie, WY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Planeswalker: Artifacts Cycle, Book II (Mass Market Paperback)
It wasn't the story so much that bothered me as it was the author's ability to tell it. Descriptions were nice, the plot was good (enough, at least) and the characters were engaging. However (isn't there always one of these), the story seems like it was dropped into a blender and left for ten minutes on frappe. The parts are mixed and matched, and, at one point a character being dead was all that told me WHEN what was happening occurred, it is a pain to tell where you are in the story. If you want to do the pomo ideal and chop your story into pieces, fine. However, tell us which goes where sometime before we get halfway through the chapter. Otherwise, it makes me want to hurl the book across the room. This is the hardest Magic novel to finish with the exception of Dark Victory (which I didn't even make it through). Not worth the time. Don't buy it, don't rent it. If you own it, burn it.
