Summary & Review:
Now that Danny North has defeated the Gate Thief, he now is aware of the true battle that must be waged. Not the petty rivalries between the magical clans of Earth, but a cosmic struggle between good and evil, a war in which Danny is now the most valuable weapon. As he learns more about the history of this war he realizes that the enemy will stop at nothing to possess him and his powers to gain control over the peoples of Earth and Westil.
From my review of The Lost Gate (#429): “Something that bothered me was the language and some of the sexual content in this book. This wasn’t anything pornographic, but it was still pretty PG-13, especially for Card since he’s LDS. It was adult enough that I would let my son read it until he was at least 16.” That sentiment held true for this book as well, maybe even more so, and in my opinion it was completely unnecessary.
This world that Card has created is pretty interesting and the system of magic is fascinating, but overall it was a mediocre Card book. Readable, but not anything special.
Rating: 5.5
