Dangerous Games is the second book in the Netheril Trilogy by Clayton Emery. Two of the main charcters from the first book return and the story begins soon after the concluding events of the first book. While still entertaining, this one tended to drag through the middle third of the book.

The story opens with another excellent fight scene involving the main character of the series - Sunbright Steelshanks. His newfound ally from the first book, the sorceror Candlemas, also returns and aids Sunbright. After the initial discovery of a shooting star, the heroes are transferred to a different time. The book begins to drag when the heroes are separated.

New allies are found, there are plenty of sword fights, and the story starts to pick up again at the beginning of the final third of the book. There's a big buildup to the finale which is well-written (involves a character trying to achieve god status), but it is a bit short. The book is still recommended as long as you read the first book beforehand.

This is a good second book for the trilogy. It brought in a new charicter that changes the whole story. If you would like to talk to me E-mail me.

This book gets off to a good start right away by having an extemely detailed and action filled battle scene. The book also develops a thick plot and story line, while contiuing the saga from the prequel.

DESPITE the fact that SOME people think Jaeger is his son Jedit, I still think that this book is pretty good. The ending, however, could have been better. Johan's character is too underdeveloped. The reader has no idea of what motivates him. I'll say this book is pretty average. (And yes, My REAL name is Johan.)

The book was overall great, there were something I didnt care for, such as the pirates... and the very end, but despite these it was still a very good book. Clayton Emery, writer of the original magic series(produced by Harper Prism) returns to write the first book of legends cycle... despite my dislike of pirate related thing, Emery does an exceptional job of keeping the reader intrested, and even further I awaited the term of each page and found myself wanted to skip partts of sentances just to find out what happened next. However... the plot seemed to go kind of far out at times, but was much like an epic would. The other weak point in my opinion was the end... The long awaited confrontation between Johan and the Tiger Man was rather much to short, however I did not expect it and so even this was in a way a nice surprise. If oyu find any of Clayton Emery's first books, I suggest you pick them up as well

Johan features some characters that are actually in the Legends card set ( Haezon Tamar, Johan, and Jedit. I'll bet many people includeing me have waited a VERY long time for Legends to have a story and I have to say one thing. It was well worth the long wait. Okay, Johan's city is well dying and tries to take over Haezon's city to save his own ( that doesn't sound too evil ). Can Haezon and a talking tiger warrior named Jedit stop the wizard Johan? I won't tell you. Oh, just read the book!

It's got heart. Architypal characters, but over-all well put together. And it inspires emotional response. A fun read (especially if you'd rather not touch your cards for a while.)

Clayton Emery has once again writen a fabulous book. I would definetly recomend this book.

This was an excellent read, Clayton Emery does it again! Flying ships, Jedit discovers his tribes true historic beginnings and becomes a tiger with a mission. The swashbuckling adventure of Adira, Hazezon and crew is some of the best I have read in a Magic, the Gathering setting. Hazezon beginning to learn how to planeshift shows there might be more stories after this one. If you want a good adventure read this book. If you haven't read the first two books in the Legends Cycle, grab them first. It will help you appreciate the characters much more.
