The much-anticipated third installment in Card's New York Times best-selling Mithermages series

Danny North is the first Gate Mage to be born on Earth in nearly 2,000 years, or at least the first to survive and claim his power, for families of Westil in exile on Earth have a treaty that requires 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 it was decided that they all had to die. And if the families didn't kill them, the Gate Thief would—that mysterious mage who destroyed every Great Gate, along with the Gate Mage who created it, before it could be opened between Earth and Westil.

But Danny survived. And Danny battled the Gate Thief—and won.

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 have been a Scott Card admirer since Ender's Game was first published. Even when I was not really into the story so much (as with the Alvin Maker series) I still enjoyed his characters and writing. This series, on the other hand, has a great story, a great magic system, lot's going on. But I can't help feeling that I am being lectured do by a rather pompous and condescending know it all in this one - and not a very nice know it all. His boys are a bit weird and his girls are just hormone driven baby makers. I stayed to the end (it wasn't awful), but I wouldn't recommend it.

Unreal characters, stilted dialogue, ok'ish

Struggled with this last book. The lead character has become too powerful and spends much off-the-wall book discussing some ancient pseudo-theology.

Too much exposition.

I liked the first two books but this was terrible, what a waste of time. This story had no plot. I'm going to ask amazon for my money back.

"Waste of time"

Interesting insights and a great wrapping of soul, myth and physics into a teen angst narrative. It got sick when it moved towards USA enjoying patting itself on the back for self proclaimed leaders of world righteousness .... again.

Good story, unfortunate USA centric perspective.

The performance in the audiobook is exceptional, and Orson Scott Card's style of writing works very well in this format. However, the story is a pretty poor conclusion to the trilogy. In fact, I was expecting there to be another book to follow as the end approached

So if you've finished the first two, you should definitely press on and get to the end, and while the story just fizzles out it still makes compelling listening thanks to the performance.

I was as equally disappointed with the way Card's Ender series goes down a similar philosophical tangent by the time Children of the Mind comes into the storyline, so maybe it's just the way he draws stories arcs together.

Brilliant audiobook performance let down by story.
