leons1701 's review for:
The Lost Gate
by Orson Scott Card
The start of Card's newest series is not quite a home run, it's a bit too predictable at times for that, but it's a solid hit nonetheless. I suppose one could consider this Card's entry into the wave of post-Potter 'kids with powers' books flooding the shelves, there's even a direct reference to the phenomena. But I wouldn't really consider this a kids book, it's pretty firmly in the teens and up category. As expected, the writing is solid, the characters interesting and there is a certain amount of moral dilemma for the characters. Excellent work and I'm looking forward to the next book.
