Comment
Add a CommentShadow Gate is the second, hefty, book in this series by Kate Elliott.
It's an excellent series - great world-building and mysteries and conflicts. The characters are absorbing.
I had much less trouble keeping track of who is who in this second book, compared to how often I was puzzled in Spirit Gate. Happily, not too many new characters are added :)
Excellent writing and imagery, coupled with adventure make this an exciting read.
