Planeshift (Magic: The Gathering - Invasion Cycle Book II)

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

This series just continues to get better. This book is action packed from beginning to end. J. Robert King has done an excellent job weaving together the storylines from the previous books in the series. Things brought to light in the first book The Brother's War are tied into the here and now of the series in Planeshift, such as what really happened to Mishra. The way JRK keeps the pace of the book going is just amazing. You'll be left wondering where the time went when you realize that you finished the book in one day. This book also takes you deeper into the characters themselves. This book takes you into the heart of the minotaur Tagnarth and lets you see that dispite his constant bravery and heroism he is still ashamed of the way he looks, as a result of the Phyrexian torture he endured at the hands of Greven Il-Vec. Also in this book you see Gerrard as the portrait of a broken man who with the death of his one true love wants nothing more than to be with her in the abyss even if it means making a deal with the devil himself. You will also get a chance to get inside the mind of my personal favorite character Karn. Karn experiences a new state of awareness as his abilities begin to develop inside him and make him more than he was. This is a five star book and will be very enjoyable for you if you are a fan of the series. If you are new to the series the book will make you want to read all books previous as well as the last book of the series Apocalypse.

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.

awesome.It gets sad tward the end. but otherwise its a must have

J. Robert King, writer of many books regarding the Phyrexians, has truly shown their great powers in this sequel to Invasion. Suspense and never-before-known facts make this book quite a good read! I loved reading it and recommend it to all Magic storyline fans.
