Legions

This was a great book, I don;t care what anyone else says about it. I wish Ixidor was in it though but still, Waistcoat and Sash were a great add on though I was very sad when Umbra sacrificed himself for his friends. Akroma is a witch, and I hope once you read this book you feel the same. I kind of believed in Ixidors vision and hated it when he refused to come back from the worm. (Though I here he comes back in Scourge) Phage is cool though except for the fact that she rots anything she touches. Great Book

This is an excellent book worthy of praise. It is not a book to be read as a stand alone novel. It is the fifth book in a six part series, so it would behoove you to read the first five. The people that bad mouthed the book for some reason read this one without reading the previous books. The entire series is a wonderful collection to have, especially if your a fan of swords and sorcery.

Legions by J. Robert King is Book Two of the Onslaught Cycle, a fantasy novel series bringing to life the story from the Onslaught line of "Magic: The Gathering" collectible card game. Two titanic beings, the bloodthirsty Phage and the ruthless angel Akroma, rend the world with their deadly war, while the one man whose terrible wrongs created Phage and Akroma alike must find a way to protect what is left of mortal kind from their devastation. An exciting and titanic science fiction action/adventure saga.

Along with Time Streams, this is the best King's book in the series. The plot is great, it's never confusing and catches your attention from the beginning. I loved to hear from Ixidor again, and I can't wait to see him as a god in Scourge! Walking holes, death wurms and the marvels of Topos are great too. I think King had a not-so-brilliant period (Invasion, etc. were not as good as Time Streams) but with Onslaught and mostly with Legions, he returned to the good old times!

Well, I love this book! I don't want to spoil anything but when what happened when Akroma mets Braids, my jaw hit the floor.
