Beckoning of the Gate by Benjamin J. Ryan

4.0

Debut fantasy novel Beckoning of the Gate by Benjamin J. Ryan is an engaging fantasy read. The writing is distinct and effortless, with sprinkles of elegance thrown in. Benjamin pays homage to the fantasy we all grew up with, providing a journey/escape through lands haunted by different versions of the fae. He used a vast history of both folklore and myths of the fae to create a solid world-building experience, yet throughout the book, he focused on characters and their interactions with each other.
I look forward to his future endeavors. Plus, it has a cute canine creature that acts like a cat with an attitude and who doesn't love that!
