Editorial Reviews

Gateway by Christina Garner was, in one world, fantastic. Garner is an incredibly captivating writer. In this debut and series opener she entices her readers with an exciting and original storyline.

Although I found it difficult to connect to Ember, I still thought she was an incredible character. For starters, I thought her narration to be extremely entertaining. She is constantly supplying witty comments and remarks that keep the reader amused with the story. She is also a complex and

This book was amazing and breathtaking, it's really well written and a great debut for an author.
She obviously did a lot of research and new what she was speaking about.
I hope there's more books to come so I can hear more about Ember, Taren and the rest :)
I give this book 5 stars out of 5, for the sole reason that I can't give it more.

I was completely enthralled in this story that I had a very hard time putting it down. It does have similarities to The Mortal Instruments but not annoyingly so. I also couldn't help thinking of Sam from Supernatural a little too.

I really fell in love with this story and I can't wait till I get my hands on the other two books in the series!
Had to give it five hearts!

First things first I loved this book. When I started reading it I was like okay this sounds like it will be a contemporary book. BOY was I wrong! I mean the first few chapters gave away not a single clue as to what exactly was going on, or what was to come. When that stuff (Yes, I'm going to call it that stuff because you'll have to read it to find out.) happens in the institute I was like damn it I had this book pegged as a different read. Don't get me wrong...I loved that I was wrong. I loved

Gateway is good. Really good. I enjoyed everything about this novel - the strong writing, the believable characters, the captivating plot and the subtle but sweet romance.

Garner has written an impressive debut. Her writing is quick and engaging and the plot has quite a few surprising twists. Like I completely didn't see that coming twists and I mean none of them. And that is a hard thing to find these days.
