theaudioauditor 's review for:
The Lost Gate
by Orson Scott Card
Audio book review.
I was surprised by my own reaction to this book. Meaning no disrespect to the autjor, but for most of my time reading, I thought I was incredibly bored, yet I would glance up and two hours would have passed. I just flew right through it!
I love the character of Danny, his innocence and his intelligence, and the unique way he interacts with the world. I also really enjoyed learning about the magic system and how the story focused less of how the world viewed this magic system and more on how one boy discovered gradually how to make his magic work for him.
I'm not sure the two halves of this story fit together so smoothly, but I appreciate the author's afterward sort of explaining how the two original ideas came together. There is a lot going on, but somehow it still works. Although I did enjoy the book, I didn't find it interesting enough to continue on with the rest of the series.
