The second half of Millar’s Magic Order saga took quite a beating from fans when it was being released, and honestly, I don’t really understand why.
Sure, it’s classic Millar, so you should expect some unnecessary shock value here and there (although I don’t think it’s particularly excessive in this case… maybe one or two moments could be considered a bit much). Yes, it’s still written with the clear intention of eventually becoming a movie or TV series. Yes, the story is often predictable, and some twists that Millar probably thought would be shocking are things most readers will see coming from a mile away. And yes, some of the ideas are cooler in concept than in execution.
But on the other hand, it’s incredibly entertaining to read. The entire lore of The Magic Order is genuinely fascinating and engaging. The magic system feels like it has real rules and real consequences. The Moonstone family is beautifully dysfunctional while still being held together by a strong and believable bond.
The strongest parts of this collection, Library Edition Vol. 2, are definitely the third and fourth miniseries. They’re an absolute blast, and I have to give Millar credit here: the final twist of the third miniseries genuinely caught me off guard.
The final miniseries, the grand finale, loses a bit of momentum. Even though Millar tries to raise the stakes as high as possible, with the fate of Cordelia, the future of the Order, and even the existence of reality itself hanging in the balance, I found myself a little less emotionally invested than I expected to be. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still good, but I was hoping to feel a bit more engaged.
That said, the ending itself wraps everything up nicely and on a fairly epic scale. Of course, this being Millar, he also leaves the door slightly open, so who knows… maybe one day we’ll return to The Magic Order after all.
