Book Haul June 2019

This recent book haul update is actually one week late due to the board exam that I had to prepare and take on the previous week. The book is the recent story of the lore of Magic: the Gathering’s planeswalkers and is titled as the same with the newest set, Ravnica: War of the Spark.

Since its announcement on the Wizards page, I planned on ordering a copy but the issue is that it is only sold online on the Amazon website and on stores abroad. I had yet to check on the Manila sellers if they can get a batch order for this one.

Fortunately, I found one at the MTG Damnation FB group with its admin Irv Rai. He posted the first batch order good for ten copies of the book, priced at P1350 each. I had second thoughts at that time but decided to go for it and ordered. I was then told of the arrival date to be two to three weeks later. I am not on a rush at that time since I was on the board exam preparation mode.

Anyhow, I finally got the book here in the office last Friday. Looking at the sleek hardcover with the artwork of the four planeswalkers and Nicol Bolas on the background, Wizards had definitely made this product very special for the fans of the game and the story itself. Of course, the story was already spoiled with the release of the MTG set which on specific cards depicting the fate of the heroes and heroines. I might need to read on how it came upon and on what specific significant events. Perhaps a book and story review soon?  We shall see.
