Review
I love this series!!!!! It is awesome! (And a bit confusing at times… But still awesome!) It has action, adventure, romance and a lost prophecy that may doom the world!!! What’s not to love?
This book is about Hallie and Kase after their semi-successful mission back from a land lost in time and mystery. Hallie is trying to figure out what’s next in her life. Now that she knows about the secret her family hid from her, she is determined to get answers. Kase on the other hand isn’t certain what to do with what’s left of his life. The death of sister almost killed him, but the death of his brother?… Too much to bear. So when his past threatens the lives of those he loves, Kase runs as fast and far as he can. But everything is unraveling faster than they know it… Will they find out the truth of their homeland before it’s too late?
This book was AMAZING! The writing was gorgeous, the plot line was stunning and the characters were fantastic! I really have been enjoying this series. The way the world is built is fascinating and I just love the Victorian setting mixed with the sci-fi feel and time travel magic! Totally suggest to teens 15 and up!
Now there is some dark topics in the novel. Mention of murder, fires that killed people. Mention of people getting stabbed, shot and killed. Mention of blood and such. As well as one point some people use a magical (sci-fi magic not voo-doo) source of power to suck the life from somebody. And someone else tries to reverse time in someone else to kill them too? It’s a bit confusing, but it is very clean and interesting to read. (I think book 3 will explain a bit more about it. It comes out this September!!!!)
Overall, I absolutely adore this series! And not just because the covers are STUNNING! This is a sci-fi series I am just loving and one I think you would enjoy too! Later my Llamaings! -The Young Llama Reader.
Pros
- An AMAZING sci-fi adventure!
- Such a sweet slow-burn romance!
- Very clean and action packed!!!
Cons
- Violence and blood mentioned…
- Mention of war and sci-fi magic.
The end of time is coming.
All that’s left of Hallie Walker after the Eudora Jayde mission are nightmares and an ancestry tangled with dark secrets. When her parents send an urgent telegram to return home, she knows it’s time to face the past she’s determined to forget. In doing so, she unwittingly stumbles into a scheme as old as the planet itself. If only she can convince a certain cocky pilot to fly her home…
Reeling from the death of his brother, Kase Shackley focuses on anything but reality itself. But when his past sins spill into the light of day, Kase does what he does best—run. If only he knew how to tell a certain bubbly scholar goodbye…
The world of Yalvara sits on a precipice, peering into the murky depths below. The kingdom of Cerulene has been too quiet since attacking the nation of Jayde, and a dangerous extremist group lurks in the shadows. When the ancient Yalvs arrive in Jayde’s capital with stories of a dragon and its rider destroying their holy city, Hallie and Kase know the horizon of war has finally come. The question is, who will be standing when the smoke clears?
Return to the Gate Chronicles with this second installment, Realms of Wrath & Ruin, set in world of crumbling First Earth artifacts, time-manipulating magic, and lost lore.
