Crazy that for the last several stories that K. Arsenault Rivera has written, the story has been really good except for Chandra who's wildly out of character, only for her to lock tf in on Chandra specifically in her worst story so far. If Chandra had been written like this during March of the Machine, that would've been a 10/10 story. Unfortunately, the best Chandra content comes from *checks notes* the multiversal kart racer set... Yeah, idk what else to say about that. They stuck Winter from Duskmourn in the race. Why wouldn't he just... steal the Aetherspark? Why would he race for it? Valgavoth could just open a door into the room where they keep the Aetherspark. Whatever. Anyway, I read this on my way to a cruise where I wasn't gonna have wifi, so the next couple of books are gonna be old Magic until I can get access to my phone again to bang out the Tarkir stories. Next up is Prophecy, which I got halfway through last year and didn't remember anything of, so I restarted it. 😬

I dunno man, I thought it was fun. The dragon showing up at the end was pointless and only there because this is supposed to be part of the Dragonstorm arc, but otherwise a solidly structured story. Was happy that Chandra got to swear once. Didn't like when she called Loot "just a little guy" though. And I felt genuinely sorry for Winter by the end of it.
