Danny North is the first Gate Mage to be born on Earth in nearly years, or at least the first to survive to claim his power. Families of Westil in exile on Earth have had a treaty that required the death of any suspected Gate Mage.
The wars between the Families had been terrible, until at last they realized it was their own survival in question. But a Gate Mage, one who could build a Great Gate back to Westil, would give his own Family a terrible advantage over all the others, and reignite the wars.
So they all had to die. What he didn't know at the time was that the Gate Thief had a very good reason for closing the Great Gates-and Danny has now fallen into the power of that great enemy of both Earth and Westil. I for one, can't wait to read more about Danny, Wad, gate magic, and the Mither Mages He lives in Greensboro, North Carolina.
A disappointing, almost lazy finish to what had promise By Nartheon I really enjoyed the first two books, and immediately read this third installment. It was such a let down. First, the book feels like it's mostly dialogue. There's very little action, and it's mostly the characters solving problems by talking it out. With such an exciting premise that had a lot of potential it was very disappointing. The intriguing idea of mythical gods among us was brilliant, but Card drove the potential into the dirt.
Second, he takes it from being an interesting fantasy tale into strong religious territory and you lose the core of what the story was, and could have been because Card is so busy trying to force it to become a Mormon allegory.
She was not surprised that this turned out to be her affinity, and she began to be able to spin little whirlwinds, to raise a breeze, even a wind. A few times, walking alone down a steep hill, she had created a wind that lifted her off her feet and carried her several yards in whatever direction she chose. I can fly, she had thought. Yet she told no one, not even Danny.
She meant to, but it never came up. And she was afraid he'd see what she could do and say, Is that all? No, Danny would never show disappointment.
He'd be very encouraging. But she'd see in his eyes that he was not impressed. So she held off, working on her windmagery privately so she'd have something worth showing when she finally told him. But today something happened that made her own pathetic magery seem utterly unimportant.
Because Pat had reason to believe that Danny was in grave danger. Not danger. She had reason to believe that the worst thing had already happened to him. Everyone seemed exasperated. And Stone knows about magery. He can tell us what to do, and what not to do. She couldn't watch everyone at once, but it seemed to her that all the other girls flinched or stiffened or looked away when she spoke of doing something about Danny. Pat rose to her feet and walked to the tree that held the small gate leading to DC.
She touched the spot under the tree limb and just like that, with no physical sensation but the change of air, she was in a dark attic room. By the light slanting through the shutters of the east-facing cupola window, she saw the low table with a stack of pennies on it. They were the arsenal Danny had created; each penny had gates on either side. If they arrived with an enemy in pursuit, they were to handle the pennies by the edge only, and throw them at the pursuer.
The gate would hurtle their enemy to some far-off, awkward location, almost all of them with police or military close by. But her pursuers this time were her friends, and she stepped away from the gate so they could come through without bumping her out of the way. Danny had told them about a time when he gated himself into a space occupied by Coach Lieder's hand, shattering the bones of his fingers into slivers inside little bags of flesh.
