The Eternity Gate is well written. There are also fascinating characters and beautiful surroundings. I was struck by Seyo's self-assurance as a person who isn't afraid to ask for assistance and finds courage in the people she loves.

Along with the thrilling action and heart-pounding suspense, other themes like loyalty, duty, and merit are skillfully woven into the plot and character interactions, all of which led to a very fulfilling conclusion. This book will interest you if you like both fantasy and action.

What a fantastic debut novel from Katherine Briggs! I loved Seyo's first person narrative and her curious, clever, and brave soul that lived for all things history. Her priestess' heart was pure and receptive, which allowed her faith to grow and mature as she sought to find and open the Eternity Gate. Seyo's journey to save her kingdom had tons of action and battle, betrayals at every corner, and surprises at every stage. The plot was complex and deeply layered; the characters were quite wonderful and moving. My favorite character was Geras, who had a painful past but a heart-stirring redemption story and was the epitome of loyalty and selflessness.

It does end on a cliffhanger of sorts and I can't wait for the second book of this duology. Any fantasy fan would thoroughly enjoy this epic adventure of kingdoms at war and race to find and open the ancient relic prophesied to hold power and judgment.
