Summary: Non stopped action!
Comment: This is a great novel by J. Robert King which i think is truely awsome. The story line is good, but you sort of need to read Invasion first, and perhaps Thran prior to that. It is nonstopped action that takes you from on board the Weatherlight to inside Urza's titan engine, to fighting with the dragons. I highly recommend it, and the other books in the saga, as well as all books by J.R. king
Rating: 5
Summary: One Word, " WOW!!!!!!"
Comment: King delivers an amazing twist to the Magic Universe, weither your into magic or not you must read this book. I bought it they day it came out and was so involved, and not wanting to quit finished it off that same day. This book is amazing, especially when Yawgmoth is around, which he definetly is.

Summary: Non stop action...yes, it's a book.
Comment: Planeshift is one of those rare books that has extreme action that never quits. It seriously felt like watching a movie. The violence is descriptive, and very captivating, but, for me, that's not quite enough to completely quench my thirst. First of all, there is little character development in this book: it's all fighting. However, the most interesting characters in the book are the dragons, specifically the Primevals. The five mighty gods rampage about Dominaria, showing their very distinctive natures. We see how the dragons change as the story progresses, until the final, breathtaking outcome. However, back on the human/metathran etc side, we have less interesting characters, but more battles. Consider this: billions, yes, BILLIONS of Phyrexians march towards our helpless heros, and at the last minute, they are seperated by Urza to complete seperate tasks. Basically, aside from the gory fights, the humanoid sections are fairly boring. Finally, we get to the Planeswalkers. Here is where the overall story really matters, and where the twists really occur. With the 'Walkers ongoing struggle to fight Phyrexia, the temptation of such power begins to corrupt the 'Walkers to the point of turning on one another. The one complaint I could have with the fighting portions is the whole 'We can kill anything' sceme. Sure, our heros are battle trained, but the Phyrexians are brutal killing machines, bred for that purpose. Most of them have blades and weapons integrated right onto them! I think there certainly could have been more outright casualties. Anyways, I recommend this book as a good read to anyone who loves Magic, any fantasy fan, or just anyone looking for a (literally) bloody good time.
