Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:Magic: The Gathering takes a bold new direction in this Planeswalker novel about the adventures of Chandra Nalaarâ??an impulsive mage on a collision course with destiny

Fresh off an encounter in which she was able to show off her talents, Chandra Nalaar has earned a place in a loose association of fire mages. But she still has a lot to proveâ??especially to the hieromancers imposing their draconian law across the land. The Order's ever-increasing influence is an affront to all Chandra holds sacred: freedom, individuality, the right of self-determination, and most of all, the right to blow things up.

A great mage once said that destruction is best left to a professional, and Chandra is proving to be world-class in the art of boom. Unfortunately, that notoriety is about to earn her a whole lot of trouble . . . Her exploration of the Multiverse and the extent of her volatile powers have some thinking she is the herald of the apocalypse. Will she control her own destinyâ??or suffer the will o

This book started a little slow for me, but I am glad that I kept reading, as it picked up and I very much enjoyed it.

Chandra is my favorite planeswalker and I identify with several of her personality characteristics. I also identify with some of Gideon's characteristics and enjoyed reading about their interactions.

The basis of this story is about law and chaos, control and freedom. These are concepts that people throughout history of struggled with. I don't know the exact mix that these need to be, but it is clear to me that there does need to be a mix. Absolute control or absolute freedom is hell. ( )

A single once-over with a spellchecker might have netted this book an extra half-star - as it is, I'm leaving it at three.

This book makes for quite a nice light romantic fantasy, with Chandra living up to her nickname as the Firebrand and Gideon popping into her life as the tall, dark and handsome stranger, who's a good deal more of a cool head, but who also isn't quite the 'Champion of Justice' he appears to be in the Return to Ravnica cycle.

Bluntly put, I'd label this as chick lit. Sure, it's got all the background of your usual MtG novel, with Goblins and Ouphes and talk about mana and what-nots, but at the end of the day, this is mostly a story about two people falling in love. If that's not your cuppa, best give this one a miss. ( )
