Rath and Storm (Magic the Gathering Anthology)

Rating:
Summary: Good Book. Read It
Review: Tended to jump back and forth between points of view. A little confusing. Otherwise, Great!

Rating:
Summary: A great book!
Review: The book "Rath and Storm" was pleasing to me. I really enjoyed it, because i had read a lot of my Flavor Text and found a lot the same. The book revealed a lot about the game "Magic: The Gathering," It also helped me comprehend the story. It is an anthology, with tales of a lot of the main characters, my favorite being Ertai. His tale was the best, in my opinion. I really enjoyed the book much, I recommend it for all Magic: The Gathering players, and science fiction readers.

Summary: Good, but could have been better.
Review: The one-liner sums it all up. As a whole story, the tale of the Rath Cycle breaks down from the multiple authors. Different viewpoints and retelling of the same stories by different people tends to throw it off balance. However, if you look at each story individually, it holds better. Granted, reading one story in the middle may not make much sense, but you will get a better view of the story from the same author. It does do a good job of telling the Rath story, though; it's just hard to follow sometimes.

Review: This book is the best Magic the Gathering Anthology I have read so far. WARNING: Hazardous for people who dont have much free time, it is very addictive! It gets a little irritating with all the different authors in it and how thier style changes. This book also misses some parts that should normally be included, ( for those of you who read this it is in Thangarth's Tale through Ertai's Tale ). My best friend does not know how to play magic and dosen't own a single magic card and he loved Rath and Storm! Now he's asking me if he can borrow the magic books I have already read! If you haven't purchased this book yet, do so NOW because this is a must for a magic player like me or non-magic players such as my friend reading The Eternal Ice ( another MUST read fantasy book ) right now accross the street.

Summary: Great Descriptions Coming From all the Legendary Characters
Review: This book told a clear descprition of the card game I like so much. It showed a section of the back story known as The Rath Cycle. It surrounds a boy named Ilcaster being told the story of the rath cycle by an old, wise, librarian. It sinks into great description and even farther information then I even was aware of. it jumps from character to character telling their background and the current events. I enjoy the fact that you can feel the emotion through wonderful description makes a vivid reader want to continue. It makes the card game make more sense also. It's kind of wierd to look at a card and say I know why this is a card. Many people find the book confusing but I kept track and I think most could to. The book's wide variety of wonderful authors for each section gave the book a great stripe of vibrance. The "Dark Room"comes every other chapter where Ilcaster is being told the story can get old after awhile, but it is worth reading through to get to the real chapters. The Chapter of Crovax's story written by Kij Johnson were wonderful, as well as Karn's. I recommend this book to Player's of Magic ad non-players that enjoy a good fantasy books. Adventure, inner stories, heavy descriptions, great interpretations of Magic Legends,and every different creature type from Tempest, Stronghold, or Exodus.
