Review: 
Having read some of the MTG novels, I have never been impressed with the writing or storylines. I think, because of this, I was surprised to enjoy this novel as much as I have.
The artwork is fantastic and the story has a good pace and hook. Though the lines tend to be a bit corny. The characters are great, each with a unique voice and feel. 
I will say that the biggest critique I have is that for anyone who is reading the novel without knowing at least some MTG lore will be very lost. The story is enjoyable regardless of MTG knowledge.
Heartbreaking, exciting, and adorable all at the same time.
