It took me a little while to get into Chaos Gate at the start, when I couldn't see why the events were happening and why I should get involved, but the short, speedy sentences and original turns of phrase and vivid mini-descriptions kept me going.

Then I realized that I just had to hang in and follow the tale, an adventure game where the characters discover a maze and hidden doors and perhaps something beyond the doors. And suddenly the chase was on, first by guards and then by Sweetums, a terrifying monster with a purposeful, powerful, dogged, unstoppable drive to kill our heroes.
Then the tale speeds up further, with imaginative and surprising twists and turns coming at increasing speed. As reader, I was now on a roller-coaster. And the ending (before the epilogue to quieten the spirits) is no let-down but an exciting just-in-time culmination.
I thoroughly enjoyed Chaos Gate. It is a gripping version of the genre, couched in short, precise 'action' sentences (no fat on them to slow them down) and succinct 'descriptive' sentences to help us visualize the scene.
The author's creative imaginings cross the 'gate' to enter the reader's world and provide an engrossing, entertaining read.

Chaos Gate has all the elements of a spellbinding yarn: engaging characters, unusual settings, descriptive language that transports you to the scene, and a well-paced, exciting plot. Move over Harry Potter and Lightning Thief! You have company. Let us hope Robert Walton expands on this story as it is worthy of a series. This book appeals to both the young adult audience and the imaginative adult. Characters like Mere Rowan, Claire, Grizzle, and Luz capture the reader's heart. What happens next?
