Summary: Best Magic Book I Have Ever Read
Comment: This was clearly the best Magic The Gathering book I have ever read.
We all know Yawgmoth was a demon and Phyrexia was a terrible place. However, it was a mystery why it was so. This book charts how Yawgmoth from a medical doctor slowly became a demon and how Phyrexia came into being. It also blended very well with earlier stories like the Brother's Wars. Mysteries in the earlier books were explained here. For example, who was Gix? Why were there nine planes in Phyrexia? How did the practice of meshing body parts to form new Phyrexians come about? What roles did the Meekstone and Mightstone play? What happened in the war between Thran and Phyrexians? This book clearly explained all the mysteries in the earlier books and made the whole Magic story more interesting and convincing.
I sort of lost interest after the second book in Artifact Cycles. I thought it was incoherent, rambling and raises more questions than it answers. Also, I guess I had expected Serra to be more powerful than it was depicted.
But King has made me interested in the story again. I will definely read his Artifact Cycle book 3 now.

Summary: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAA!
Comment: I love The Thran! The Thran is the Magic the Gathering book that starts out everything in the storyline behind the card sets ( not counting the out-of-print Magic the Gathering novels published by Harper Prism, which have nothing to do with the trading card game story at all ). Yes, this takes place BEFORE Urza and Mishra are born!
We all wanted to know where Yawgmoth and his evil little freind, Gix came from. The Thran explains this. The Thran also has a character named Rebbec ( she's on the cover of the book ) and she becomes Gaea. Yawgmoth was originally a medical doctor ( what the? ) who was banished from the city of Halcyon due to his incredibly painful methods of healing people. Glacian, Rebbec's husband, is infected by a lethal disease called: thisys. Glacian got the disease after being stabbed in da back with a pointy-tipped powerstone. The mysterious person who stabbed Glacian is Gix. I won't spoil too much storyline for you but hear this: YOU HAVEN'T LIVED UNTIL YOU READ THE THRAN!!!!!!!

Summary: Awsome. Best book in the world.
Comment: The first book I read in this series is Nemisis, then I got Apocalypse, and all time I wanted to know more abot Yawgmoth, Rebbec and Halycon, now I know! This is so good I cried, even the sample pages show how cool the book is. J. Robert King writes the best MTG books (and the funniest and must cursed filled ones.). This is my favorite book in the world.
