Description

In this sequel to The Lost Gate, best-selling author Orson Scott Card continues his fantastic tale of the mages of Westil, who live in exile on Earth.

Here on Earth, Danny North is still in high school, yet he holds in his heart and mind all the stolen outselves of 13 centuries of gatemages. The Families still want to kill him if they can’t control him - and they can’t control him; he is far too powerful.

On Westil, Wad is now nearly powerless - he lost everything to Danny in their struggle. Even if he can survive the revenge of his enemies, he must still somehow make peace with the Gatemage Daniel North, for when Danny took that power from Loki, he also took responsibility for the Great Gates. And when he comes face-to-face with the mages who call themselves Bel and Ishtoreth, he will understand just why Loki closed the gates all those centuries ago.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Card weaves another in a chain of satisfying, teenager-pleasing fantasies…. Card has a grand old time romping around in the fields of comparative religion while letting a feud worthy of the Hatfields and the McCoys unfold, with much tongue-in-cheek humor but a touch of gore, too." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Familiarity with The Lost Gate is useful, but not essential, as Card gives readers enough background to have at least a partial understanding of the world he’s created….Defined characters and a highly imaginative story. For the author’s fans, a must-read." (Booklist)

Card hates women

I don't know why I downloaded this second book after reading the first one but I can't even get through it. I guess my curiousity got the better of me. It's a shame that this isn't a story I can fully get into because it's actually very cool, but this man's low opinion of women is so evident in his writing that it's impossible to get past. All of his female characters are so one-dimensional, with the majority of them being written in so that Card can reiterate that Danny is also a teenage boy on top of being a super powerful mage (please refer to the plethora of times the word "cleavage" is mentioned). The only time a female gets any respect is when she's written as the "maternal" woman - where, again, her character is used solely to let you know that the main character has mommy issues. If you're a woman, or someone who respects women at all, I'd suggest trying one of the many other fantasy series/trilogies to choose from. I'm making sure to go to a female author next just to ease the guilt I feel from getting through even one of these books.
