Oh, this book. My gut reaction was that it was so bad, it actually came all the way back to being good again. I heartily enjoyed it, mostly because Tezzeret is an incredibly assholish, intelligent sumbitch, and his bickering with Baltrice is priceless. He is also naked for most of the book.
The ending, however, was a rather too laborious to enjoy. Tezzeret knows that Bolas knows that Tezzeret knows that Bolas knows that Tezzeret knows, basically. I also felt that the buildup to the actual denoue...more

Jul 04, 2011Tim the Wiz rated it it was ok · review of another edition
Wow. An immense waste of supreme talent. Stover going through the motions on autopilot to pay the bills is still pretty readable, but this was little more than a patchwork of decent to good character insights. Unfortunately, the shallow platform and threadbare world--or, should I say, Multiverse--behind it betrays any promise of a satisfying tale.

Not a big fan of Dungeons and Dragons but I'll read anything Stover writes, up to and including a grocery list. I suppose picking this up at such a late date is my way of coming to terms with the fact that we aren't getting any new Stover anytime soon.
It was okay. One of Stover's strength is his strong characters, and this being a media tie-in he didn't have much to work with here. Not sure how these characters fit into their larger fictional universes, but that doesn't matter. Kept picturing th...more

I'm not overly familiar with Magic: The Gathering. I know that it's a fantasy card game in which players battle each other using custom-constructed decks. And it was a big deal back in high school. It originated the term to 'tap', or rotate, a card in play. And it was a huge influence on one of my favorite card games. That's the extent of my knowledge.

Having read most of the other Magic-novels, I bought this novel mostly to read the continuity of the story arch. I expected to be somewhat let down, as many of the other Magic novels are pretty mediocre. I was very surprised when I found myself enjoying the book immensely; Matthew Stover has done something very unexpected and brilliant with this book.

Another in the line of Magic the Gathering books.
I enjoyed the first two thirds of this book very much. The last third took forever. I like a book with twists and turns but this one went overboard - there are twists, turns, overs, unders and back to the starts.
As i do play the Magic the Gathering card game it is nice to 'bring to life' the characters.
This is the second book i have read about the same characters but by different authors.

As per usual, I came out of this Matthew Stover novel part confused, part in awe, and part mind boggled. I enjoyed this novel for two main reasons 1) two very epic magical duels, and 2) some very intense twists in the plot and status quo, especially as the book concludes. At first I found Tezzeret to be a little bit annoying as a character, and his banter with Nicol Bolas was sometimes funny and sometimes just irritating, but I guess that fits the nature of the man/dragon.

Recommended to David by: Goodreads and Matthew Stover
Matthew Stover never fails to please, in my opinion, and this book was no exception for me. I had never read anything in this Magic the Gathering sub-genre but the book was easy to get into, didn't require a tedious ammount of backstory to be enjoyable and the main character was quite enjoyable to tag along with as he struggled to follow the threads of the puzzle before him. The secondary players were more than simplistic, D&D-style cardboard cutouts and each had good and bad qualities inher...more
Entre a nova safra de romances baseados em Magic: The Gathering, Test of Metal foi o menos ruim. A estrutura é interessante - capítulos em flashback narrados em primeira pessoa alternados com capítulos que se passam no presente, narrados em terceira pessoa - e essa estrutura permite que os personagens principais, os magos andarilhos de planos, se revelem com mais profundidade e textura que em qualquer outro livro de Magic que eu tenha lido. A trama, entretanto, não é das mais convincentes, e cul...more

This book was what it was, and it did that ok. It was probably one of the better Magic the Gathering novels, because it had a Stover plot and Stoverized characters, but was still in a setting that makes no sense and has overpowered characters. I would really only recommend this book to someone who was crazy about Matthew Woodring Stover anyway, and then with hesitation. It wasn't a terrible book, but it was confusing in parts and not that groundbreaking or exciting.

This book was impossible for me to set down. Filled with characters that I initially didn't like, I found my views of the characters changing as they themselves grew and changed through the book. I was kind of grateful that I read most of this alone, as I actually found myself laughing out loud at several points, the humor striking a wide variety of angles. The book opened with a very enticing dedication and in my opinion delivered: '...to everyone who is almost as smart as they think they are.'
Read because I like Matthew Stover's writing and want to support his work. His Overworld/Caine books are the ones I really enjoy, but I've played a game of Magic or two in my day, and thought it might be interesting to check out Stover's take on the universe. Overall, this didn't quite do it for me - but Stover himself still does, so it's worth checking out Heroes Die if you liked, say, The Lies of Locke Lamora and A Game of Thrones.

Daaaamn good. Seriously. Stover's Tezzeret may be my favourite MTG character of all time, followed up by... Gideon? This novel is beautifully written and neatly complex; it is etherium and riddles and sphinxes and Crucius, all wrapped in one. They did a good job picking Stover to write it.

A nice book I grabbed on my way up to the cabin. Read it in one sitting and found it well written, colorful and interesting to follow. Lots of time travel and parallel universe stuff going on.

this is how far my fanboyish devotion to Matt Stover has taken me.
A decent book, though it feels convoluted at times. The author's choice of language often derails you from the world he's writing about.
