And when so many leave you stranded,with nothing but tiny fragments of memories,stealing a little more of the hope within,without a goodbye worth mentioning,You stop.
Finally finished reading Agents of Artifice,for a book that I had been looking for with much anticipation,it was well worth it.
Even before reading,with just a rough outline and story info on the different planeswalkers,Jace was easily my favourite,and the story just made it more so ;)
Salvaged from a life of loneliness due to his rare powers of being a mind mage(one who can read minds,create illusions,create,remove or alter another's memories)to one with power,but at the cost of going against his own morals,and righteousness,struggling to choose while being intimidated at the cost of freedom,the character portrayal was decently done,showing his more human side than planeswalker,kinda reminding that even a planeswalker is just as human inside as everyone else.
Finally making his choice between power or freedom,followed by the cost of his choice,losses,mistakes,sacrifices,betrayal,revenge.seriously awesome.
The story ends in the same elements it started,with Jace going back to his life of solitude,journeying aimlessly,never being able to fully befriend anyone due to being able to read their mistrusts and human doubts and negativeness,but different in a way,with Jace being more wise,more clear of what is right and wrong,and of cos,far more powerful than at the beginning.
But I think his my favourite character more so because its one of em rare fictional characters that you can see nearly yourself in.
oh yea,to 99% of those who read this who won't know what a planeswalker is
planeswalker = a being who can move through different worlds.Yes,Worlds,not places
^^b
Verdict;
Magic the Gathering,A Planeswalker novel;
Agents of Artifice: 4.5/5

Change,is coming.
