Explanation In Pursuance Of Books The Lost Gate (Mither Mages #1)
Danny North knew from early childhood that his family was different, and that he was different from them. While his cousins were learning how to create the things that commoners called fairies, ghosts, golems, trolls, werewolves, and other such miracles that were the heritage of the North family, Danny worried that he would never show a talent, never form an outself. He grew up in the rambling old house, filled with dozens of cousins, and aunts and uncles, all ruled by his father. Their home was isolated in the mountains of western Virginia, far from town, far from schools, far from other people. There are many secrets in the House, and many rules that Danny must follow. There is a secret library with only a few dozen books, and none of them in English — but Danny and his cousins are expected to become fluent in the language of the books. While Danny’s cousins are free to create magic whenever they like, they must never do it where outsiders might see. Unfortunately, there are some secrets kept from Danny as well. And that will lead to disaster for the North family.

Interesting world, but I didn't find the story-telling to be very compelling. Card gets way too bogged down in explaining, over-explaining, and explaining yet again the details of how things work. Also, as in most of his latest fiction, all of his characters sound the same.There's also a scene that was entirely uncalled for, involving a sex-crazed 20-something girl jumping the 12 year old protagonist. It seemed like one of those scenes Hollywood throws in to get more viewers--you know, the2.5 starsThe Lost Gate is the first book I've read by Orson Scott Card. I've heard phenomenal things about his story telling and now I can understand why. Orson kept me engaged with his story with his detailed mythology and world building. I felt like I was apart of the world while reading about Danny's journey. I'll admit, I didn't feel a connection to his main character through out the whole story and at times some scenes were not at all what I was expecting, and little graphic, taking too
The ratings for this book seem high, so I know that I am in the minority on this one. I've read 2 other books by Orson Scott Card and enjoyed both of them. They've had good imaginative plots and make a fun story, which is why I picked this book to listen with my 12-year old son.The Good: The story is based on ancient gods who still exist on earth with diminished powers and live mostly hidden from the rest of humanity. They are waiting for a gate mage to be born and create a Great Gate which will
4 star novel with an unbelievably awesome magic system and world building. This is a first in a new series by Orson Scott Card and the first time that I have read him in years. I adore the Alvin Maker series and consider it one of the best Urban Fantasy series ever written. This novel is about a teenage boy named Danny. He is a little difficult to like and empathize with, as he is an incredibly smart ass and self centered youth, that may be a little too smart for his own good. The world building
The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card is the first novel in what is likely to be a series of Mithermage novels. As Card explains in the Afterword, he considers this to be his best magic system, but a system itself does not make a good novel. Where this novel lacks, and where his series with Ender and Alvin succeeded, is in the formation of the story as well as good characters. The main character of this book, Danny, doesnt measure up to those two predecessors, and the story itself seems to have many
This was a rather interesting book. The story was decent and had an interesting magic system. In the book, various mages exist that have names reflecting their special abilities: gatemages (who control portals and teleportation gates), seamages (who control the currents of the seas), and lots of others like beastmages, treemages, etc. The social climate of the story was based off various cultures and subcultures like the Norsemen, Greeks, Hittites, Persians, Hindus, and others. Interesting also
This isn't what I expected at all. There were things I liked and disliked about this book.The story was great, the world building was unique and the magic system was super cool. My problem was with the characters and the dialogue. Most of the characters were pretty unlikeable and the few I liked weren't relatable at all. Many of the characters were very crude and crass and I found the dialogue and character interactions uncomfortable. I'm not sure if I'll carry on with this series. I want to see
