Robert King weaves an epic tale of Avalon, Excalibur, the Once and Future King, and the mad magician Merlin as he draws on the ideas and writings of Joseph Campbell to shape and interpret t The Thran. Being a Magic: the Gathering nerd I have read a few of the books, but this stands out as my favorite. In the tradition of The Mists of Avalon and Mythago Wood, J. Robert King is the best, which is not to say that any of the others are bad, but his I feel like his writ Being a Magic: the Gathering nerd I have read a few of the books, but this stands out as my favorite. I would almost say it is the creation story of MtG, it makes everything else that happens in all the other books seem more significant and adds a layer of humanity to the devil of the MtG multiverse, the source of all evil in all planes in all the mythology. Robert King is the best, which is not to say that any of the others are bad, but his I feel like his writing transcends what may people may consider a gimmick to make a quick buck. It seems after reading this, which was written at least 10 years after the card game was released, that the story was always there and they always intended to tell it, but had never been able.Īnyone who is interested in MtG and would like to get into the books I think should read this one, as it precedes all the other books as far as I know. In general I would say the books are worth reading. Chronicling events that shape the story behind at least 20 other books that I know of, THE THRAN finally provides the back story on which nearly everything else is based on. I also recommend this book to any fan of fantasy, as it is a good digestible size and is interesting, even if you are not familiar with the card game.more The story behind the cards is pretty interesting, though not always the most original, and it's cool to read about the Thran power stones or some other reference to one of the cards. This may be the most important (if you can call any MTG fluff important) book to date as far as understanding the background for the MTG universe.
Ki This may be the most important (if you can call any MTG fluff important) book to date as far as understanding the background for the MTG universe. Chronicling events that shape the story behind at least 20 other books that I know of, THE THRAN finally provides the back story on which nearly everything else is based on. Millennia before the Brothers' War and the Ice Age, this book reveals the mysteries of Yawgmoth, Gix, Phyrexia, Mercadia, the Meekstone, the Mightstone, artifice, and the Thran. King is perhaps the best writer to contribute to the MTG saga, and his skill is on fine display here. Staying within the limits of the already well-established sequence of events, King is still able to produce a fun and interesting read that has all the suspense and mystery you could ask for. Even though you know that the Thran will be decimated and Yawgmoth will live, the book isn't completely predictable and nothing seems inevitable. Quite an accomplishment when you consider that most of the story had been set out ahead of time. The book does, however, take away a lot of the mystery that had previously made the Thran and the rest of the MTG universe so intriguing. While I love to learn more about the history of the multiverse and hear the secrets of its past, I think the reality presented here takes away from the glamour that the Thran had before. We find that they really aren't some super-advanced god-like race, but mere humans with all the troubles and faults of everyone else.
