Product Description

A World Beyond Imagination

Where forests of metal claw the sky.

Where razor-sharp metallic grasses stretch across the plains.

Where vast oceans of quicksilver conceal predators awaiting the unwary.

Across this harsh landscape, an orphaned elf must make her way, seeking the secrets of her past, daring the perils of her present. And she must tear aside the veil that hides the face of a hidden enemy whose power extends across all Mirrodin

5.0 out of 5 stars perhaps im biased, but, May 24 2004

By

connie (bayside (nyc), ny, usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Moons of Mirrodin: Mirrodin Cycle, Book I (Mass Market Paperback)

i read this about... a month ago and at the same time i read odyssey. however, this was my first magic book experience so therefore, perhaps i am biased.

regardless, i enjoyed this book very much. there were a few minor things i disliked, but overall i would give it a five just the same. simply because i had fun reading it. one thing i liked is that the chapters seemed fairly short and organized. so there was a nice consistent flow joining all the bits together. i dont know if you are attracted to 'short and neat' in a novel but i liked it. it gave me a sense of ..progress, i suppose.
even with that, i didnt find it predictable. one of the other reviewers expresses that the book is riddled with cliches, and that's sort of true, but i didnt realize it when i first picked it up so that might have also affected my view.
either way i would say its an interesting read if you're into magic/fantasy because of the concept.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome piece of work, May 24 2004

This review is from: The Moons of Mirrodin: Mirrodin Cycle, Book I (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a great piece of work. Read it. Knowing nothing about Magic the Gathering, I had no preconceived notions. If you're used a normal more organic world, you'll just need to float free on this one, and go with the flow. That's what Sci-Fi/Fantasy is all about anyway. You can read what the others have said to get a general gist of the plot. I'll just add that it is well worth the read. A very new setting with the suggestion that these creatures where somehow ripped from their own reality, converted to semi-metal beings, and dropped into a metal based world. Great plot development.

5.0 out of 5 stars First time Magic fan, Mar 13 2004

James Weber (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Moons of Mirrodin: Mirrodin Cycle, Book I (Mass Market Paperback)

Reading the Moons of Mirrodin is the first Magic the Gathering experience I've had. I love adventure/science fiction, and this book had me captivated from the start. Glissa, Slobad, and Bosh are a team not to be messed with. Will Mcdermot did a great job. I am reading Darksteel Eye now, and so far so good!
