Tendo voltado a jogar Magic the Gathering recentemente, após largar em 1996 para praticar o hockey in line pela Ponte Preta "no limits" (os nomes bregas da juventude, ah, e a macaca), e tendo lido um monte de coisas complexas e compliquentas (Kant, por exemplo!), ler um livro de fantasia adolescente passado no multiverso "conto de fadas", Eldraine, das cartas de aventura, foi bastante divertido. Dito isso, acompanhar a impulsiva Rowan (cor: vermelho) e o sensÃvel-intuitivo-avoado Will (cor: azul) é para os fãs do jogo de cartas apenas. Sua primeira aventura até a centelha que os leva a despertar como andarilhos é esquemática, e não acho que personagens como o Garruk versão amaldiçoada e o Oko versão banida possam ser especialmente interessantes para quem não olhou as estratégias correspondentes no jogo. Nisso há realmente um interesse interno de ir identificando as cartas e como a escritora traçou um percurso narrativo entre elas, ora de modo mais orgânico, ora em episódios tipicamente arbitrários do entretenimento (a do caldeirão da eternidade a mais forçada). ( ) Perfectly serviceable Magic novel. I feel like this setting is a mashup of Bant and Lorwyn, but I enjoyed Will and Rowan as planeswalkers, and Oko is a delightful villain. The novel would have benefited from one more editing pass as there are several typos and straight-up missing words. The ending is rife with deus ex machina that has absolutely no setup - perhaps apropos of its fairy tale inspiration but not satisfying in a story for an adult. Yikes. I love MTG but had to hate-read this book. The story was boring and slow, the characters dull (more Garruk please), and the writing style horrendous. The flowery, seldom heard adjectives only pulled me out of the lame fantasy world every other page. The twins could have been cool but they were so.. flat. I'm really looking forward to reading War of the Spark: Forsaken. This is not the sort of book I expect from [[Kate Elliott]] who has always before brought the characters with their flaws into joyous balance with the narrative. I spent 4/5th of this one impatient with the players and the play, until the flow of the narrative just took over and did what it required with those idiots. Unless The Gathering, Magic is your thing, there is no need to read this. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Fantasy.
Fiction.
HTML:In the exciting new story of Magic's latest release, Throne of Eldraine, the young warrior-mage twins Rowan and Will Kenrith quest for their missing father, High King Kenrith. Venturing far from the safety of the Realm, their search takes them deep into the Wildsâ??a hostile land of faeries, monsters, and untamed magic. A chance encounter with the wily and inscrutable shapeshifter Oko seems somehow connected, but memory of the Fey trickster flits away with a wink. Beleaguered by unclear recollections and pursued relentlessly by Garruk, a cursed hunter stalking Planeswalkers across the Multiverse, can the royal scions unravel the mystery of their father's disappearance and restore him to his rightful throne before his absence shatters the peace of their ho No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
