After reading the two previous books in the series, I was not expecting to enjoy this one quite as much as I did. But I did. I can't really explain it other than to say that I cared for Ki and Vandien and wanted to know what would happen to them. Overall, a very decent read. ( ) Worth reading just to complete the story arc - even though you don't necessarily realize, if you stop reading after either book one or two, that there is an arc. Also fun is the Brurjan met on the other side of the gate. A fun Brurjan? Yes. Also, these would be good books for a discussion group, this one maybe especially. ...Maybe this third book in the quartet is the most difficult to appreciate. In terms of structure and emotional charge it is the best of the quartet so far I think but definitely a more challenging read than the previous two. Lindholm is clearly progressing as a writer over the course of this series. Something that can be seen in the final volume, Luck of the Wheels (1989), as well. Ki and Vandien remain two of Lindhom's most intriguing creations and I am very much enjoying to way in which she develops these characters. The Limbreth Gate made me want to reach for the next one immediately after finishing it. Unfortunately there is a to read stack to consider though, it will have to wait its turn. I will try to read and review that book before the year is out and wrap up this series. Full Random Comments review Synopsis: A gypsy woman is drawn into a shadow world to fulfill the destiny created for her when she was briefly kidnapped as a child. Review: The Limbreth Gate is the third installment in Megan Lindholm’s Ki and Vandien Quartet, and is perhaps the most conventional of her books. The plotline is a familiar one–a shadow world opens up, sucking the main characters in–and while Lindholm doesn’t exactly take it to new heights, she does deliver a solid, well-written, suspenseful fantasy tale.
