Another surprisingly good read. I was always excited about what was going to happen next. Lots of imagination in this story, and it's well written. It's such an underrated book. The ending could have been better but it was still good.I was scared this book was going to be like "The Darkest Minds" series which had a decent story but I just did not enjoy it at all. It didn't resonate with me... but Raven's Gate did.Raven's Gate is kinda like Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children meets
Have you ever had a choice between going to jail or a foster home? What would you choose? I would choose a foster home because it's better than jail. The genre of this book is Realistic Fantasy because it feels like it can happen but you know it can't. 14-year-old Matthew Freeman helps out a boy to rob an electronics warehouse and is caught by a police. Then is sent to Lesser Malling. A women named Mrs. Deverill is Matthews foster parent. Matt starts hearing noises at night and plans an escape.
First off, i want to say that i read first Necropolis which is the book 4 in this fabulous series. The gatekeepers is sooo awesome!!, it has supernatural events, suspense, action, it's thrilling, it's so wonderful, i love it.Even though i first read the book 4 in the series, i could perfectly get into the story, Anthony Horowitz, explains there some things that happened in the previous books, so that if someone like me happened to commit the mistake of reading the 4th book first instead of
Anthony Horowitz quickly became a favorite author of mine after reading and loving Magpie Murders and The House of Silk. I don't typically read young adult fantasy novels, but I'm not opposed to giving something different a try now and then. Besides, I already knew that his writing was fantastic, so thought this one might be a refreshing change of pace for me. Unfortunately, I was a bit bored with it. I reached about the 40-50% mark on my kindle and decided I have too many others I would much
This book was a lot better than I expected. I was honestly expecting something along the lines of "teenager ends up being the overpowered Chosen One and saves the world!" and (view spoiler)[while that was TRUE, (hide spoiler)] it was a much subtler and, dare I say it, realistic approach. The book surprised me.The characters were likeable and well written, the plot was kinda generic but still interesting, and the writing wasn't spectacular, but it did its job. I'm going to be continuing on with
There's very little in the core story of _Raven's Gate_ that's original. Horowitz borrows heavily both from older sci-fi/fantasy/horror works (Lovecraft and Stephen King, most noticeably) and mythology to create a world-within-a-world that in no way feels either new or particularly scary. If you read enough in the previously mentioned genres, you will have seen nearly all of these concepts used at least once elsewhere, and probably used better. And if you have seen them, then this story becomes
