jackjmadd 's review for:

The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card
DID NOT FINISH

DNF LIST

Honestly, this book had some great magical premises. I am a sucker for bringing old myths into play in fantasy books and the magic system seemed to be really cool. However I did some research and this author is known for being conservative and anti-LGBT which is a big no no from me. However, I decided to see where the book went. I had to stop reading about 4 and a half hours into the audiobook because of the overly sexual way he was writing the main character, who is 13, and how often pedophilia was being brought up. I could also tell how his misogyny and patriotism slipped into his storytelling which I REALLY did not like or enjoy. Do not recommend
