Aside from the many issues about Chandra and Nissa, and the writing skills of Greg Weissman, I believe another main issue was that a lot was happening and had to be cover in one book.
I mean, Sorin and Nahiri suddenly made up, when we had a card where this was a focus. So many names had to be mention to meet the quota stated by Creative, I get it, it’s cool to have a character mention but this was done in excess.
The lack of memorable deaths also affected. We could have more interesting losses such as Kiora, Nissa (yes I get it, she was Chandra love interest but this would have been a tragic loss), Jaya, Teferi (yes I know he just have returned) Ajani (another tragic loss but Nicol was his nemesis as well). This really affected the view on the War, because aside from the anticlimactic dead of Dack and Domri, only Gideon had meaning and the others were characters in the background of the background.
The disconnection between cards and story has really impacted Vorthos for a lot of time, and here it was quite the issue, they must improve that area.
The delay of the Theros novel is welcome if it will give us a quality material, hopefully it will. I still remember when MaRo said in Battle for Zendikar “THIS IS THE VORTHOS ERA”, well, today I found that era to be over.
