Another in the line of Magic the Gathering books.

I enjoyed the first two thirds of this book very much. The last third took forever. I like a book with twists and turns but this one went overboard - there are twists, turns, overs, unders and back to the starts.

As i do play the Magic the Gathering card game it is nice to "bring to life" the characters.

This is the second book i have read about the same characters but by different authors.

I find it interesting how they advance the characters while keeping them true to the authors that have written before them. This one was not bad in that regard. It helps to be able to alter time as you need to cover over any changes you want to make to character personality.

All in all not a bad book if you are a wizards and warriors fantasy lover.
