As a long-time player of Magic, with a husband who's semi-pro, I couldn't pass this up when I saw it available on NetGalley. I was a little concerned because it's volume 4 and I haven't read the first three, but it didn't matter. The story was immediately interesting and pulled me right in. I loved reading a story set in a universe I'm familiar with from the card game, and seeing creatures and spells in a different -- more "real" -- setting. The story was quick-paced and adventurous, the characters were rich and entertaining, and the lore was just as I'd hoped it would be. The artwork? Freaking gorgeous, and I wouldn't have expected any less. I don't read a lot of comics, but this volume has made me want to read everything else in the series that I can find. Definitely recommended!
