An excellent book - even for non-players of M:TG January 12, 2003

I read this book several years ago when it first came out, and I have to admit that it is truely one of the absolute best books I've ever read. It has nothing to do with the 'Magic: The Gathering' card games, nor does it deal with anything "pokemon-ish;" Arena is an outstanding piece of literature and, thankfully, not ploy to draw people into playing the card game. A *HIGHLY* recommended book for anyone who enjoys sci-fi or novels such as J.R.R. Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings.' Even Harry Potter fans will enjoy the intense magical atmosphere of this novel.
WOW! October 15, 2002

Arena is a GREAT book! I don't even play Magic at all. My friend made me read it and I don't regret it. It captures your attention from the beginning till end. It's full of action and mystery! READ IT NOW!

I first borrowed this book from a friend of mine, because I was bored and wanted something to read. I could barely put it down, and then only because I had to. The story of Garth One-Eye and his companions is an enthralling read. Once I finished my friend's copy, I tracked down the book at my favorite bookstore, and got a copy of my own. Anyone who is a fan of fantasy should read this book.

A nice start to the Magic Series June 13, 2002

This was (I think) the first MTG novel published. It is also one of the strongest novels of the entire line. Centered around a mysterious one-eyed magicker, the reader sees the opulence and greed that has taken over the annual Wizard's Duel. The main characher, Garth One-Eye, comes to the annual event in order to sow some chaos himself and to exact some revenge. One nice thing about this book was that, originally, you could order away for a MTG card, The Arena. Overall, this is a very well-written novel with a super story and excellent characters (we do meet Garth again later on in the series). While this book is sometimes hard to find, it is well worth the effort. I'd rank it as one of the top two or three Magic books along with The Thran and Tapestries.
