About this ebook

Elspeth’s trials in Theros continue in this second Godsend adventure inspired by the myths of ancient Greece
 
In a realm where fickle gods fight for the devotion of mortals, the planeswalker Elspeth has risen to become the champion of the sun god Heliod, who transformed her legendary sword into a spear named “Godsend.”
 
As Elspeth defends the city Akros from minotaur hordes, she uncovers a horrible truth: If the machinations of the satyr planeswalker Xenagos come to fruition, he’ll ascend to godhood and threaten the entire realm of Theros. Made a pariah by Xenagos, an exiled and hated Elspeth fights for her life. As she hunts Xenagos, Elspeth must attempt to breach Nyx, the realm of night—and the home of the gods.

Ratings and reviews

This book expounds on the story of Theros but honestly you would be better suited reading the Uncharted Realms on Daily MTG. If you paid attention to the story of the Theros block you already know the main story of the block, and this book does little to expand it. The story is very hasty moving from one plot point to the next without giving adequate time or character development between each event. Ultimately it feels as if the author ran out of time/space and had to release this in an incomplete form.

This book needed to be longer. Strangely enough the gods were the most interesting characters in these books and I wanted to here more from them.

sooo sad :'( only too short, like the first one
