The Gates by Rachael WadeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Book 2 The Resistance Trilogy
I continue to be amazed by this author’s skill at world-building, and her ability to evoke character delineation and evolution. Additionally, the suspension of disbelief so important in the genres of paranormal, fantasy, or horror is accomplished so skillfully in this trilogy that the reader never even stops to puzzle whether alternate dimensions such as Amaranth exist, nor whether it is possible that vampires are “real,” products of a “curse” which can be mitigated and return them to humanity-at least, humanity in exile. Author Wade makes all these events and progressions seem so natural that I could practically open my front door and step into the reality experienced inside these pages.
Any reader wishing to focus on character depths, superb plotting, or excellent world-building skills, need look no further than Rachael Wade’s The Resistance Trilogy-and indeed this set would be a beneficial read and study for writers wishing to learn to excel in these capacities.
My highest recommendation is on this novel, as well as the first in the series. Do not miss; it matters not if you think you are a fan of paranormal or fantasy, or not. You will never be disappointed with this trilogy. Readers, read and revel. Writers, read and study and learn.
