Book Review of The Gate of Gods (The Fall of Ile-Rien, Bk 3)

The Gate of Gods (The Fall of Ile-Rien, Bk 3)


As the book's synopsis tells it: "Tremaine Valiarde and a small, brave band of heroes ventured into a wondrous new realm on their desperate mission to save Ile-Rien from the conquering Gardier."
After the fall of the city of Vienne, Tremaine and her friends are now rebels who, with the help of her long-lost father, are now discovering the real story behind the Gardier. Their would-be conquerors and the rebels alike are fleshed out in a non-stop adventure.

In fact, by the end I was mildly disappointed with Tremaine who seemed to be the only character whose personality and motivations remained a mystery even to herself. While the ending (finally!) seemed to resolve that, she was a personality unable to move forward of her own, conscious volition. It made her seem rather like an overgrown teenager, though it did little to diminish my enjoyment of the book in general.
