Summary

Experience the first official adventure in Magic: The Gathering’s multiverse in nearly a decade as the ultimate battle begins on Ravnica.

Teyo Verada wants nothing more than to be a shieldmage, wielding arcane energies to protect his people from his world’s vicious diamondstorms. When he’s buried alive in the aftermath of his first real tempest, the young mage’s life is about to end before it can truly begin - until it doesn’t. In a flash, a power he didn’t know he had whisks him away from his home, to a world of stone, glass, and wonder: Ravnica. Teyo is a Planeswalker, one of many to be called to the world-spanning city - all lured by Nicol Bolas, the Elder Dragon. Bolas lays siege to the city of Ravnica, hungry for the ultimate prize: godhood itself. His unparalleled magic and unstoppable army appear poised to bring the city to utter ruin.

Among those who stand in the way of Bolas’s terrifying machinations are the Gatewatch, Planeswalkers sworn to defeat evil, no matter where it’s found. But as they work to unite the other mages and mount a defense of the city and its people, the terrifying truth of Bolas’s plan becomes clear. The Elder Dragon has prepared a trap to ensnare the most powerful mages from across the Multiverse - and it’s too late to escape.

As forces great and small converge on the city and the battle rages, the stakes could not be higher. If the Gatewatch falters and the Planeswalkers fail, the curtain will fall on the age of heroes - and rise on the infinite reign of Nicol Bolas.

Petkoff with another great reading.

Robert is easily my favourite narrator, voices bringing a story to life once again.

Took me a while to get into it, and there was alot of names to get use to. expert narration made it easier to keep up.

Need more like this

I loved it, it explores the realms and characters in more detail than the game which brings its setting to life

So much exposition!

The full first third of this book is filled with unnecessary exposition, filling the reader in on its vast cast of characters and history of Magic’s worlds. It’s unnecessary because honestly no one other than a fan is going to put up with the poor writing and dire melodramatic delivery of this trite!

There are some fine moments, to be fair, but on the whole this clunks along with far too much repetition and unneeded verbosity (just like this review). Imagine if now I started explaining to you the very history of audible and book reviews before, three hours later, starting the point. That is this book.

If you are a Magic the gathering storyline fan then this is (sadly) an unmissable part of that lore. If you are not then run away and never listen to (or read) this badly written toss. There are thousands of better fantasy books begging for your attention.

As for me, I’m that needy Magic fan who now has to listen to the sequel. Horrific!
