War of the Spark: Forsaken (Magic: The Gathering)

De: Greg Weisman

Narrado por: Lisa Flanagan

Return to the multiverse of Magic: The Gathering as the hunt for Liliana Vess is on in the aftermath of the War of the Spark.

The Planeswalkers have defeated Nicol Bolas and saved the Multiverse - though at grave cost. The living have been left to pick up the pieces and mourn the dead. But one loss is almost too great to bear: Gideon Jura, champion of justice and shield of the Gatewatch, is gone. As his former comrades Jace and Chandra struggle to rebuild from this tragedy, their future, like the future of the Gatewatch, remains uncertain.

As the Gatewatch’s newest member, Kaya aims to help write that future. In joining, she pledged an oath to protect the living and the dead, but now that oath will be tested. The grieving guild masters of Ravnica have tasked her with a grave mission suited to her talents as a hunter and assassin - a mission she is ordered to keep secret from the Gatewatch. She must track down and exact retribution on the traitor Liliana Vess.

But Liliana Vess has no interest in being found. Forsaken by her friends, she fled Ravnica after the defeat of Bolas. She was hostage to his wicked will, forced to assist in his terrible atrocities on pain of death - until Gideon, the last one who believed in her goodness, died in her place. Haunted by Gideon’s final gift, and hunted by former allies, Liliana now returns to a place she’d thought she’d never see again, the only place she has left: home.

Enjoyed it quite a bit

be mindful: this book and the first are written in shifting pov. this can be confusing if you're not prepared for it.

Good book

The story was quite enjoyable, a bit on the sexual side, but good. Keep it up

Feeling empty

The book was incredible and I can not wait for part three to come out!

over sexualized

reads like a romantic erotic novel, the book focused way to hard on the sexual relationships of characters instead of stories and missions of the guild pact.

Great story

Totally biased but the fleshing out of each Planeswalker to me is my favorite part of each book. Great narrators helping bring them to life.

so happy that they are doing books

Love that they are doing audiobooks for the story! story was a good wrap up for the war of the spark and some good leads going forward.

Love it!

Love the story and voice actress. 😍 Magic is my favorite game and listening to the books opens a whole new world for deck building. this is great

Weisman sucks. At this.

Teyo is probably the worst character I've ever seen. Every time he and rat show up I vomit in my mouth a bit. As a continuation of the travesty that was war of the spark. He glosses over important background details and just assumes people already know what is going on.

fun for magic fans

the thirsty tales of a group of planeswalkers in the aftermath of their fight with Nicol Bolas. it's fun. I had a fun time with the series and will read on

Spoiled brat of "Voice of All"

Great story. I love to see more of the MTG expanding and thriving. I'd love to see the older books redone. Lisa was a great narrator, but I'm a fan of "Voice of All" on YouTube. I'm used to a cast narrating MTG stories, so it seems I'm just spoiled, now having to only listen to one person narrating. Although I did find it a bit annoying that Lisa didn't have much flare or difference between the character's tones. I'd imagine it would be difficult to differentiate whom was talking in a discussion between Lilianna, Kaya, Chandra, and Vraska. Those four are almost entirely the same. Anyways, give Voice of All a chance!
