The Purifying Fire
By Laura ResnickPublisher Description
Magic: The Gathering takes a bold new direction in this Planeswalker novel about the adventures of Chandra Nalaar—an impulsive mage on a collision course with destiny
Fresh off an encounter in which she was able to show off her talents, Chandra Nalaar has earned a place in a loose association of fire mages. But she still has a lot to prove—especially to the hieromancers imposing their draconian law across the land. The Order’s ever-increasing influence is an affront to all Chandra holds sacred: freedom, individuality, the right of self-determination, and most of all, the right to blow things up.
A great mage once said that destruction is best left to a professional, and Chandra is proving to be world-class in the art of boom. Unfortunately, that notoriety is about to earn her a whole lot of trouble . . . Her exploration of the Multiverse and the extent of her volatile powers have some thinking she is the herald of the apocalypse. Will she control her own destiny—or suffer the will of others?

“The Purifying Fire is a bit of a mess, but it has good intentions. It took me a while to really respect the message of the book, but the third act really puts some questionable character moments into perspective for me. Honestly, the third act kinda saved the book for me, in a way. I think Chandra's decisions and internal monologue really changed my perspective of why they were going so hard on Chandra's reckless endangerment and blatant murder throughout the book. Gideon's actions also seemed out of character at first, but they really come into focus when you realize where he is in his life right now and why he's doing the things he does. It's not nearly as well structured or consistent as Agents of Artifice, and the presentation of this book is, frankly, atrocious. It wouldn't be that much of an understatement to say there were more than 5-6 spelling/printing errors in every single chapter. I lost count very quickly. In conclusion, Purifying Fire could've been a much better product with just a little bit of TLC and a more focused vision, but for what it is I think it's a very good book.”
