Guardians of the Gate REVIEW -From Belle

Elves and dark wolves and humans – oh, my! This story centers itself in a forest - no, that’s not quite right – in two forests, one in the human world and one in Emeralusia, land of the elves. These forests are separated by a single, hidden gate accessible only by elves and guarded by elves, lest the dark wolves get loose on the humans.

Michael Cole, star soccer player for his high school, meets a new girl in class, Evelyn, with emerald eyes and caramel skin. His curiosity immediately turns to attraction, which is underlined by delight when he discovers she is attracted to him, as well. What should be a simple, sweet romance instead unleashes forces neither of them reckons with and both their worlds are put in peril.

Ms. Blackwelder has gone to great depths to create Emeralusia, its creatures and its history. The second book ends with unanswered questions, paving the way for a sequel. There are parts of the story that fly by with great action scenes, description and dialogue. However, there are also parts that, to me, made slow reading of Emeralusian history. The characters are great and, of them all, I’d stick Venda in my pocket and take her home.

I’d recommend this for YA. For full disclosure, this book was sent to me for review.



Have a great week!

Guardians of the Gate Review -The Book Lover

I was given a copy of this book to review. This is the first book of this series and is largely targeted at the teenagers and young adults. It is a passionate love story set in Colorado between Michael and Evelyn on the milieu of high school romance. It is a sugary tale well written and the plot has plenty of tension and excitement with a joyful conclusion. Good read definitely.

Guardians of the Gate Review from Michael Pollack

Ami Blackwelder has delivered a finely crafted fantasy of forbidden love in a contemporary magic realm. Her narrative sails along with a lyrical flow, constantly building-up conflict toward a dramatic and satisfying conclusion. A well-blended amalgam of beloved literary components draws the reader into the story, immersing the reader in the tensions and desires of characters who deserve our sympathy and care

GUARDIANS OF THE GATE:

Romance is not new to Young Adult novels, and paranormal romance has become very big among YA authors since the success of The Twilight series, but an elfin/human romance is something I have never read before. Overall, the writing was fairly good and I think this book is definitely appropriate for the young-adult market. -Lisa K. Mason

Guardians of the Gate Reader Reviews

I really like how you capture Michael's trepidation about asking Evelyn out -the angst, the worry. He is an interesting character. -Diane

This is so romantic! What really won me over though was your prose -you are a poet. I loved Michael's description of first seeing Evelyn. This will totally melt hearts! -Lizzie
