Summary: Twisted and Gory
Review: This book explains it all! Ertai, Greven, Crovax, Volrath, and a new character, Belbe, all fit into this twisted book of hatred! The sheer power and definite details of gore were incredibly pleasing to the mind. The wars, destruction, and surprises were cleverly thought up. A must for those of you who like to read books that are twisted and gory.

Summary: The Best Magic: the Gathering book ever.
Review: This book is best when read after reading Rath and Storm and Mercadian Masques. This is by far the best book based on Magic the gathering. Unlike the predecessors in the magic series, this book is the most dark and sinister. It has subtle hints along the way to reveal what will happen at the end. But the end itself will paint a disturbing image in your head which you simply will not be able to shake.

Summary: The best of the 3
Review: This book is by far the best of the Mercadian block novels. It has it all love, war, magic. This book is a must read for any magic fan. If found my self always wanting to read on the excitement never stopped. It did have its low points ,and got confusing at times but far less than the other 2.

Summary: Chillingly Intriguing
Review: This book is one of the better Magic, the Gathering Novels. An avid player of magic, I was impressed by the way the mechanics of magic worked throughout the story, and how I recognized a few artifacts, creatures, spells, and, of course, characters. The book appears to have taken place during the time period of its predecessor, Mercadian Masques. The stars of the book are; BELBE: a kidnapped resident of Rath, brought back to Rath after a stay in Phyrexia to choose the new evincar of Rath. CROVAX: this former crew member of the Weatherlight has also been warped by the will of the planeswalker fiend Yawgmoth, and is one of the contestants for the title of Evincar. ELADAMRI: the leader of the elves in Rath, and leader of the rebellion against the stronghold who must deal with the kidnapping of his daughter while trying to overthrow the most promising future-leader of Rath, CROVAX, and a contestant for rulership of Rath, himself. GREVEN IL VEC: Volrath's right-hand man is at a loss with the disappearance of his master, and must choose which contestant for leader of Rath he will follow. ERTAI: another member of the Weatherlight, ERTAI was left behind when the rest of the Weatherlight crew traveled to Mercadia, he is the final contestant in the race for rulership of Rath. Slowly being affected by the black and red mana evironments surrounding him, ERTAI trys to stay alive and fight the dark forces invading his body. Helped by BELBE, ERTAI must find a way to destroy CROVAX without being destroyed hiself. And you'll never guess the surprize guest in this story, or, then again, maybe you will . . . if you've read Mercadian Masques.

Summary: The Best MTG book EVER!
Review: This is surely the best MTG book in the series. It is dark, mysterious and very compelling. The characters of this book is well designed and the ending is quite unexpected. It also go to details in explaining the construction of Rath's stronghold and the phyraxian's master plan to conquare Dominaria.

Summary: Excellent Book, a Fresh Take on Things
Review: This is the sixth or seventh book that I've read in the M:TG series. I really enjoyed this to other books because it takes a much different approach. It is about Belbe, Emissary of Phyrexia, who much chose one of the several would-be-kings, a new Evincar of Rath. The book is very interesting and gives you a much more in-depth look at the intricacies of Rath than the previous book "Rath and Storm". Everything is handled extremely well from character traits, to the plot and storyline, to minute details. My only gripe is the fact that one of the candidates was pre-chosen and continuously gains more strength and grows insanely powerful throughout the book. The others never had a chance; including an old face who appears later. I won't ruin any of the story for you, but if you've played the card game you probably already know the outcome as I did. It's still a wonderful read. Highly recommended. Overall I give this about a 9 out of 10.
