Prophecy

I don't expect M:tG novels to be top tier, but that they at least connect to the whole of this universe and provide a decent, light read.

That said, “Prophecy” is appalling.

This was a bore, it dragged insignificant details on for so long, and I found myself skimming more than I'd do a self-help book. It's not a terrible book, but I really wish I hadn't spent time reading it. It also ties poorly with this cycle.

Basically, it all boils down to this:

=== SPOILER ===

The Phyrexian plague is spreading in Dominaria, and the Keldons are to blame. They're also awful, slave-owning, war-mongering people. Rayne dies, Barrin is upset, and Teferi is... well, the usual.

That's it, only stretched meaninglessly for hundreds of pages. I don't mean to be rude or dismissive of the author's work, it's just that this one wasn't for me.
