The Gate of Gods by Martha Wells
5.0
A solid conclusion to The Fall of Ile-Rein story arc
I simply love Martha Wells' writing. Her characters are protagonists that I like, and wish I could get to know in the real world. I've read lots of stories from other authors where I didn't like the protagonist at all. Her settings are rich, and the plot keeps me up reading long after I should have gone to sleep. In this third book in the story arc, things get dire for our heroes, but most of them win through. By three-fourths of the way through the book, I just couldn't see how Martha Wells could wrap up the story in the pages remaining. But she does it, and without making the ending feel rushed. I'm only sad the story is over. But I will look forward to the next title from Martha Wells that I find!
