portalley 's review for:

The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card
3.0

I liked this book well enough, but it didn't grab me. In the middle of the climax, I was able to put the book down and take a nap without worrying what would happen. The magic system was very well developed and fascinating. For me, the ending was a little predictable. I spotted several of the major plot twists several chapters ahead. It was an interesting read, though, and I'll probably pick up the next in the series sometime down the road.
