stefaniajoy 's review for:

The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card

2.0

---

This was an interesting book. It didn't amaze me, but I did find some of the plot lines intriguing enough that I will probably read the next book.

The way the drowthers were talked about was off-putting to me. I don't know if it was meant to display character development in Danny or to show the culture of his people, but I didn't like it. Danny and Wad were difficult protagonists to like at times. Danny was so foolish after he left home, while at home he had been so careful. That didn't make sense to me. The parts about him stealing, etc. in DC were tiresome to me.
I enjoyed the plotline of the other world, with Wad, much more.
