The Gate Thief by Orson Scott Card
3.0
I'm sure most other reviewers have covered this...but I had high hopes for this book after the first book and was somewhat disappointed. This novel really is a transition novel between The Lost Gate and Gatefather. Think Empire Strikes Back... it even ends on a cliff hanger.
I still think this is a good book and it needed to be written to build various mythos such as Man Magery, Set, etc (as Card states in the Afterward). It was a tale of three novels: Danny the teenager, Danny the burgeoning GateFather, and Wad's story in Westil (which is mostly separate from Danny's story and doesn't really hint or foreshadow how the stories are connected).
Worth read, but don't expect any resolution.
