A sequel which doesn’t improve on the original. For a setting inspired by Japanese mythology and Shinto religion, the world does and its gods do have a Western character about them. The only thing saving this ip work is the couple of fight scenes it has.

The weakest of the Kamigawa trilogy, this book really is held back by the fact it is the middle child of the story. Possibly McGough's weakest work, but that still puts it above most MTG novels.
