Alara Unbroken (Magic: The Gathering #61)
by
Doug Beyer
Once upon a time, the plane of Alara was shattered into five planes, each distinctly populated with relative mono-magical culture that reflects each of the five colors. Now, the planes are beginning to realign and merge once more.
As nefarious forces work to hasten the cataclysmic realignment for their own gain, the populations of once ordered planes struggle to come...more

Really enjoyed this book. Went very well with the 'Planeswalkers Guide to Alara." Lots of stuff going on in this book and the really short chapters and jumping around sometimes make it difficult to follow. If anything this book should have been turned into a 3 part series much like the previous MTG novels. This would have allowed for greater plot and character development. I felt like I was just getting to know the characters and places when suddenly the book was over.

I could say this was probably the fastest I've read any magic novel, and that's not to say because it was short. Throughout the book you are following multiple story lines all at once. At first it may seem like a difficult task, but the author did a great job of cutting between them at the right moments. The way it jumps from story to story is just enough to keep the pages turning, before I knew it I was at the end.

My boyfriend made me read this and Im glad he did because it ended up being a very well written story. Based on a type of trading card game but still...it was a little confusing because it had many settings and many characters but a very intracate plot. Very good.
I actually managed to follow this M:TG book, but it still is written very badly. Yuck.
Good overall, but you get what you pay for with books based on card games. Too many plotlines that come together too late to be really effective as a great story, but it does add colours to the cards, which is pretty cool.
Very good. It continued to keep me on the edge of my seat. It's a great addition to the MTG series.
I heart Ajani Goldmane.
