4.0

Solid fantasy novella with characters you quickly get the gist of and a cool setting. Davriel Cane is a great character that I wouldn't mind reading more about in case there would be a continuation. His philosophy, behaviour, magical abilities, and hints of a cool backstory are all intriguing. The book is set in the Magic: The Gathering universe, but stands alone without much tying into the greater story, so no familiarity with that franchise is necessary.
