Summary: Interesting, but...
Review: OK, this book is sort of interesting. Unfortunately, it would be nicer if it connected more with the set. It gets way off by mentioning all sorts of characters that didn't appear even once, not even in the flavor text.Also, WHERE ARE THE SLIVERS?! There are 15 Slivers in the Legions set, and that's 10% of the set! And they cannot set aside 1% of the book? I was hoping it would at least mention the Riptide Project! Look at the flavor texts of some of the Slivers: Essence Sliver: The slivers would survive, even at the expense of every other creature on Otaria. Shifting Sliver: Once the last few slivers the Riptide Project controlled were dead, there was nothing to keep the island from being completely overrun. Crypt Sliver: "Death couldn't contain the slivers. What made us think we could?." -Riptide Project researcher Blade Sliver: After breaking free from the Riptide Project, the slivers quickly adapted to life on Otaria-much to the dismay of life on Otaria. Brood Sliver: Within weeks, more slivers nested in Otaria than ever existed on Rath Root Sliver: "It would take another apocalypse to stop the slivers now." -Riptide Project researcher Now, Otaria is where pretty much all of the book takes place. Look at those flavor texts. It makes it seem like Otaria is under quite a bit of trouble from the Slivers. Yet it never mentions them. Not once. Please, I was really hoping for them to return! They mention them in the "Rath and Storm" novel, why not this? Well, maybe they'll show up in the next book, Scourge...but unlikely. Maybe I'm making too big a deal out of the fact the Slivers aren't in it. But still, it seemed to go quite a bit aways from the set. Besides, I wanted to know what, if anything, stopped the Slivers. But does it mention them? Nope. I preferred Onslaught greatly to this.

Summary: kamahl with dreadlocks...oh yeah!
Review: Once again J. Robert King out does himself. This book was an excellent sequel to Onslaught and I can't wait for the next one! King's characters fuse together through random chance in a world overrun by powerhungry would be dictatorsip in such a perfect way that his writing style can be described as nothing less than beautiful.

Summary: Legions
Review: This book is great. Phage, minion of the Cabal, goes head to head with Akroma, creation of Ixidor, as well as both of their armies. However, their war doesn't break out until the very end of the book. Another good twist is the three unmen, who were supposed to protect Ixidor, but failed, and are now trying to become human. There are many other twists as well, like the rise of the former Numena, who were like gods. And there's still a lot of bloodshed throughout the book. However there's only one thing I didn't like about the book.
There are no slivers! The main reason I read this book was to learn more about the Riptide Project and the Sliver invasion. On some cards in the Magic the Gathering: Legions set say things about the wizards of Riptide bringing sliver fossils back to life and that the slivers swarm out of Riptide and invade the main continent of Otaria. I thought that it would at least mention that subject.
Otherwise it was a really great read. It gets really good when Phage becomes pregnant with the son of Virot Maglan, the Cabal Patriarch, or more commonly known as the First. She wanders the continent to try to slay Akroma before the war starts and she comes to the city of Averru, formerly known as Sanctum and meets an old friend. Then, the second of the Numena rises, and everyone prepares for war.
Also, while the unmen go and try to get new bodies, they come across the path of the First, and he makes a deal with them to accompany Phage on here quest and bring back the heads of both Phage and Akroma (the First went a little insane in his coliseum). The First gives them temporary bodies (dog-sized roaches) and promises them human ones if the unmen bring back the heads. The unmen then follow Phage and wait.
On the other side of the story, after Ixidor was eaten by a wurm, Akroma took over his role as ruler of Topos. She then develops a religion based on Ixidor's vision to make the world beautiful, and cleans it of all dirt (Phage and the Cabal). While at a party to convert some new countries, she finds the wurm that ate Ixidor, and plunged down into it. There, she found Ixidor, still alive, and tried to get him to return to the palace. Ixidor refused, and Akroma soared back up to the palace. After that, she gathered her army, and marched to Averru, ready to take on Phage.
Phage then searches for Akroma, but instead finds a lost friend of hers, named Braids. She sends the roaches with Braids to the coliseum, and the First becomes enraged and takes away the roaches bodies and gives them their old ones. After Phage returns to the coliseum; she gives birth to her baby, and sets off to Averru to fight Akroma. The two of them battle and only one becomes victorious. I like this book, and highly recomend it to everyone who likes books about war and spells.

Summary: Legions- The fifth book in a 6 part SERIES!
Review: This is an excellent book worthy of praise. It is not a book to be read as a stand alone novel. It is the fifth book in a six part series, so it would behoove you to read the first five. The people that bad mouthed the book for some reason read this one without reading the previous books. The entire series is a wonderful collection to have, especially if your a fan of swords and sorcery.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This was a great book, I don;t care what anyone else says about it. I wish Ixidor was in it though but still, Waistcoat and Sash were a great add on though I was very sad when Umbra sacrificed himself for his friends. Akroma is a witch, and I hope once you read this book you feel the same. I kind of believed in Ixidors vision and hated it when he refused to come back from the worm. (Though I here he comes back in Scourge) Phage is cool though except for the fact that she rots anything she touches. Great Book
