jessicalin07 's review for:
The Lost Gate
by Orson Scott Card
I am so completely torn about this book. On the one hand, I love the concept, the world, and the magical system. I am a sucker for anything that deals with mythological creatures and gods living and working in the modern day. But...and it is a huge but... I wasn't compelled by the writing or the actual story. The flipping back and forth between worlds felt disjointed and I felt there were far too many segways into plot points that didn't really move the story forward.
For the portions that were actually compelling, the book got a solid 4/4.5 stars, but the other portions were a 2 star read a best, so I guess that leaves me somewhere in the 2.5-3 stars for the book.
