great book
By P. Gonzales
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 Great Read!
By T. Kotula
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.

Poor writing quality mars an interesting world and characters.
By Robert Gamble
I received this novel in a Ravnica Fat Pack, and out of curiosity more than true interest, I sat down to read it. The story itself is pretty basic with a few twists thrown in. It's a detective story with the stereotypical aging crime fighter who doesn't like partners and has something from his past catch up with him. The various characters each feel like they should be interesting as they come across as distinct entities, but by the end of the book you don't really get to know any of them beyond the main character. The setting is pretty well described and it's easy to get a mental picture of the landscapes and surroundings.

** Minor spoilers **

When it comes to describing action however, things get confusing. This is bad for a book with a lot of action. Fight scenes often were written in a way that made me have to go back to figure out who was being talked about. Events that had happened a short time ago were 'forgotten'. For instance, there's one scene where caltrop like things attacked the characters' feet. One character tells the other to just be patient, they'll drop off after a bit. The effects of the caltrops on the characters' feet are described a few sentences later, but then ignored for the rest of the sequence without ever describing when and how they drop off. The combination of these kinds of logical holes along with poor clarity made these scenes more of a chore than exciting.

These logical issues were present throughout the book, up to and including the last page. As an example, one scene had a character dying an excruciating death. At one point it said something like "He never had a chance to scream." And then it described the process of death taking minutes (and from the description it didn't seem as though it would have removed his ability to scream).

The author also lacked a certain subtlety that would have made the book better. At one point a character picks a fight with a rather polite minotaur for no apparent reason. Very shortly, the author, perhaps fearing he's making the character unlikeable very explicitly says something like: "He was really a good man who wasn't bigoted. But when drunk he would often pick fights with individuals who reminded him of a certain group". Now, ignoring the logical problem that I believe that picking fights with people who remind you of another group does indeed make a person a bigot, this is information that could have been shown over time. I'm not a fan of being told that I should consider a character a good person. Have him act accordingly and let any background information revealed over time let me make my own decision on whether he's good.

** End minor spoilers **

There were also numerous typos throughout which can be understood given the time frame books like these are produced under.

There is one other overall 'conceptual' problem I have with the book. Some of the characters, events, monsters, spells, etc are present in the Ravnica card set. However, the book is a relatively standard fantasy story that doesn't have any relation to the 'mechanics' of the card game itself where each player uses these characters, spells, creatures, etc in a fight against the other player. I can't say I can see how the card game could be translated more faithfully into a story (I do remember the first M:tG book I ever read was boring and did try to faithfully follow the way the card game played - such that it was the last M:tG book I ever read until now), but as it is you have a story that feels more like a standard fantasy novel, but isn't well written enough to appeal to anyone outside the game.

The book isn't the absolutely worst book I've ever read and it gets a 2 only because there's no way to rate it 1 1/2.
