Summary: Time Streams - excellent fantasy in a long time.
Review: 5 stars is way too low. 7 should do it. I haven't read such a riveting, enthralling fantasy in a long time! My only complaint is that there should've been more on Barrin and more in depth look at Kerrick, and it was too short! The entrapment of Urza by Multani was ingenious. The detail on the corruption of Serra's Realm was chilling. Marvelous! Let's hope BloodLine (the next book in the series)can be the same!

Summary: Book Review: Time Streams
Review: After we were pretty discouraged from reading Planeswalker, J. Robert King knew he had to create a novel to recover the greatness of the Magic the Gathering "Artifacts Cycle" after Lynn Abbey wrote his book that barely reaches average. In Time Streams, the famous Tolaria is one of the main places were the story takes place. Tolaria is the place where Urza gathers the greatest minds in Dominaria to study at his academy (no, I didn't get this from the back cover, mind you). They include Malzra, Barrin, and the mischivous Teferi (to a huge extent he frequently calls Karn "Arty Shovelhead") . In the end of every chapter, there is a very intelegent monologue written by Barrin, Mage Master of Tolaria (it's fiction, J. Robert King wrote everything). In the prologue, it is only a monologue but it quickly addicts you to the story ( use thehandy tool on this page to look inside books and read the prologue, you'll know what I mean). Tolaria get's destroyed and many scholars killed by a Phyrexian threat, war becomes at hand. Ten years after the battle, Urza, Teferi, Karn, Barrin, Malzra, and the others return to the wreckage of former Tolaria and build a new academy called "New Tolaria". More battle comes and some may be tired out of battle, battle, battle, battle, battle, war, war, war, war, war, but I haven't read such an action-packed book since Apocalypse (Invasion Cycle, book III). Hopefully, you'll make a wise desicion and buy Time Streams. Ya'll love it.

Summary: Great book, continuing to explain cards for the interested
Review: As good as the first (The Brothers War) and FAR better than the second (Planeswalker)in this series. King explains many of the cards and occurrences, and even makes it easy to follow the plot and timeline. A must read if one wants to understand the game and do more than just play it.

Summary: Well defined plot
Review: I personally feel that compared to the other books in the series, this is the best. There are no extreme leaps in time, the plot is well defined, the main characters have many colors etc. I would recommend it to all fantasy lovers out there!

Summary: Very Enjoyable
Review: I read this book during my lunch breaks while I was teaching SUmmer School. I found it extremely enjoyable and I particularly liked the way he used time paradoxes when he described the Time Bubbles. Very Good. My students liked it too.

Summary: "The most incredible book yet in the series"
Review: I thought this was the msot amazing book to come in the magic the gathering universe. I felt it was well written and researched, and tied in incredibly with the planeswalker book, the story of karn and his creation, and urza's paying for his crimes against the forest of argoth were incredible. Especially exciting was the idea of the time distorted area in which Kerrick presides and attacked from. I can't wait for the next book in the Series Bloodlines. If anyone could help me with some info on where and when i can get this book seeing as the publisher has delayed shipment I would be very appreciative. Thanks

Summary: Thanks to the fans.
Review: Thanks to all of you who have enjoyed Time Streams. It is a book near to my heart. I'm currently reviewing galley proofs for The Thran, which tells of the origins of Yawgmoth and the Phyrexians. Watch for its release.
