Much like the earlier volume in this series, [b:The Art of Magic: The Gathering -- Zendikar|26154384|The Art of Magic The Gathering -- Zendikar|James Wyatt|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1440993183s/26154384.jpg|46111075], this is a beautiful volume filled with the images and lore of recent Magic: the Gathering card sets.
It's lovely to get a chance to see the art in sizes larger than the 2x3 inch frames we get on cards, and it's clear the story team who works on Magic places lots of love into their creations.
The text of the book is half D&D-esque campaign setting (a gazetteer of the places of the world and the types of people and creatures that inhabit those places), and half story outline for the narrative being told in the cards.
It's a pretty thing I'm proud to own.
It's not for people who aren't really all that into Magic, though, unless you're a collector of art books in general.
4 of 5 stars.
