masha 's review for:

The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card
5.0

As someone who has been smitten with practically all of Card's works, this was definitely a novel that I enjoyed. The main character was slightly exaggerated yet still relatable, and his wit and fun banter made the story jump to a whole new level. While it was obviously partly a setup for more books to come, it just made me hunger for the rest of the series even more. The story does get a little graphic at one (or two) points in the book, so I definitely wouldn't recommend this to anyone who is either very young (not young adult, say) or faint of heart.
