RATING:
5/5 Stars
REVIEW:
Gripping. Mysterious. Profound. I didn't quite know what to expect when I first opened this book's pages, but by the time that I finished the novel, I had found so much. The story was deep and masterful; the prose was rich and enthralling; the characters were real and unique.
There was so much to like and gain from The Eternity Gate, and I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to be whisked away to a world where darkness is not skirted around or glorified, but instead faced and overcome by the power of the Father of Light.
WARNINGS:
Violence from war // Fantastical elements // Mild magic // Shadow creatures
TAKEAWAYS:
You can write a book that doesn't skirt around darkness, while also not dwelling in darkness. Katherine balanced good and evil in such an admirable way!

The Blurb
Destroy the key. Save her people and herself.
The Eternity Gate is found, and kings and monsters battle over its legends of treasure. But rumors whisper that someone stole the gate's ancient key.
Seyo, handmaiden to the princess, keeps three secrets. First, she's gifted in fire, not light, and may as well be cursed. Second, she translates a prophecy warning that the gate does not offer treasure but judgment. Third, Jorai, the scorned prince and Seyo's confidant, entrusts her with the key and disappears.
Surrounded by war, Seyo and her companions embark on a journey to seek help from a faraway empire and find Jorai, unaware of the trap awaiting them. But what should Seyo do with the key? Who can survive judgment, especially someone as flawed as her? Will hiding the key—or destroying it—save her people or ensure their defeat?
