The best measuring rode of the quality of a good book is that when the last page is turned and you
come to the final word of the last sentence;you will regret ending of the book.It is like
saying goodbye to a friend.I thought that way when I finished this unforgettable achievement of the
imagination:The Last Gate!
Merz's debut novel has all of the assurance of a master storyteller and her world-building skills are
incredible as she takes you to the world of the Ver dala Ven, a magical race who's purpose is to
guide people in wartorn world.You will enter a world of memorable cast of characters who's
dreams, loves, conflicts and hatred will be as real as your own or as real as the latest tragedy on the
evening news. You will enter the powerful country of Jantideva who rules this planet. You will fall in
love with characters like freedom-fighter Shonti, Shelon who battles Jantideva to free his people
from slavery.Coba-the Verdala Ven who is prophecized to finding the massing star that will heal his
world. Gella, the Shonti woman that loves Shelon and shares his dream of freeing their people. Bail
and Jishni
the dakas,which are the rulers of Jantideva who can make decisions that affect their citizens but
cannot stop the fragmentation of their family. Taen-the son of Coba and Jishni
a cruel and ruthless young man who seek power and revenge against his own family.Bailin, the son of
Bail and Jishni who falls in love with Shonti bid of independence that will put him in odds with his
family.Merz's imaginative world is so realistic and so like our in it's age-old conflicts, hatred and
tragedies I could almost swear I felt like she visited there herself and chronicled all of the scenes in
this book! Another I loved about this novel is that the author's ability to have you sympathize with
some of the more villianous characters of the novel and have characters you might admire say or do
something that will shock you.The Last Gate's plot twists, action sequences and heartwarming
romance with have you turning pages through the night! Unforgettable experience awaits you
between the pages of this book so enter Coba, Shelon, Gella's world of intrigue, romance,
adventure!
