Magic the Gathering: The Eternal Ice

Rating:
Summary: Er...okay...
Review: After reading the first book in the Ice Age Cycle, I eagerly awaited the next one. I must admit, while this book was basically good, it was hard to understand and didn't really connect well with the other book. We learn that Jodah as magically altered himself to be able to live eternally, but we don't really get much information about how he did this, or even when. One good thing: Jaya Ballard was a hoot! Pretty good read, but it may not be what you're expecting.

Review: Grubb is the master. This book is at least as good if not better than the previous book in the series, "The Gathering Dark" (see my review on that book). It is another book that you just can't put down. It continues the story of Jodah as an adult of great age (around two thousand years). The only bad feature in the book is the time gap between Jodah as a mageling in the time of the Conclave of Mages to Jodah being two thousand years old and known as the Archmage Eternal at the City of Shadows (now The School of the Unseen on the islan of Lat-Nam). It also offers a new evil mage Lim Dul. And it ties in with the Magic The Gathering edition Ice Age really well. Simple vocab and sentence structure, but still very exciting.

Summary: SHOCKED!
Review: I am amazed by how many people haven't read this book. It is good that Jeff Grubb to make a storyline behind these Magic the Gathering cardsets: The Dark ( The Gathering Dark ), Ice Age ( The Eternal Ice ), and Alliances ( The Shattered Alliance ). It is a wee bit confusing in the beginning I have to admit, but the battle between the allied Balduvians and Kjeldorians versus Lim-Dul's undead army makes up for it. You really don't have to read The Gathering Dark to understand this story. MAGIC PLAYER OR NOT, READ THIS BOOK!

Review: I read this book first then Book I of the trilogy (sorta got me confused but i figured it out). This book was realy good from the start but it does leave you geussing how he became an Eternal though. The book tells you about the struggle Jodah has, from rembering who he is to fighting a great evil army, over coming great odds. I recomend this book and every book in the trilogy (or else your just lost wondering things).

Summary: Jeff Grubb did it again!
Review: Jeff Grubb is possibly the best Magic the gathering writer. Now about the book, this book continues the story of Jodah. This book is much later in time than the Gathering Dark but do your self the favor and read that book first I have a review there too. Lim-Dul calls Jodah back from the dead or so it seems.....some strage student shows up and the truth un folds......I won't tell you anymore. I almost reccomend this MORE for a person who has never really played the game. Jeff did it agian!

Review: The book continues the story of Jodah. the writing was good andthe story's plot kept my attention. The battle part, however, was inneed of extra editing. I was disappointed that the name Shandalar wasnot mentioned.

Summary: Really Good
Review: This book was really good, and became an essential part to the Trilogy. It finally explains the Kjeldorans and Balduvians and about their part of the Ice Age. Although this book is not as good as the other two, I enjoyed it very much. It was a great introduction for the final and best addition to the trilogy. The entire series is an awe inspiring work of writing.
