Gates of the Dead
ByPublisher Description
The end times have come—but it’s not too late for a hero to strike back—in the grimdark fantasy sequel to The Last Sacrifice and Fallen Gods
Brogan McTyre started a war with the gods, and he's going to end it. Raging gods have laid waste to the Five Kingdoms. Only Torema remains, swollen with millions of refugees. Their last hope lies in fleeing by sea, but as storms tear at the coast, even King Opar can’t muster enough ships for them all. Brogan and his warriors must fight the He-Kisshi to reach the Gateway, the sole portal for gods to enter the mortal world—and the only place where they can be killed. But the forces of creation have been unleashed, and they’ll destroy the world to reshape it.

“A satisfying conclusion that answered a lot of questions and picked up some threads I'd forgotten about?! I still think the he-kisshi (?) are terrifying and fascinating, as were all the other creatures and not quite humans. I love meddling gods in books, and this was that times a lot. I also really appreciated how much time was given for the final battle, since it had been building for the whole trilogy. It's always a nice surprise when am author is willing to kill off characters because then I never know what to expect. There were so many things that happened that shocked me, just because this world is so wild out felt like anything could happen in a way?! Even when different characters I already knew ended up running into each other...I want sure how it would all go over haha
I just really enjoyed this series!! I was particularly interested in Myridia and Stanna, but there was so much shit going on with Brogan (of course) and all the other povs that it doesn't really matter if you like them. Something interesting is always happening, even if it seems like a slower part in the book. I'm not sure why more people haven't found this series, but I wish they would. I'm definitely going to check out the... Seven forges? I think that's the other fantasy series by this author.
It's so crazy to me to think I might never have found these books, had I not encountered book 1 on sale for like $1.99 on Kindle or something. Always check ebook deals in your favorite genre, kids. Hidden gems are everywhere = )”
“As I am writing this, two things are happening. My heart is still pounding and I am still in utter awe as to how very few people seem to have read or reviewed this book and series.
I have made friends and lost them, my friends fought against each other. I wanted to scream at them to just work together.
Whenever I thought something was going one way, it would go in a completely different and better direction. I wouldn't get too attached to characters, because they might just die out of nowhere.
Certainly, there are characters I was attached to more so than others, I am not sure if Stanna or Faceless are my favorites. Most of the players in this game are most fantastically written and I connected to most of them. James A. Moore made me even feel bad for some of the bad guys.
The battles were amazing and I am not the kind of a battle gal, I didn't skip over any battle scenes because I was too afraid to miss even one second of this book.
I recommend this series to anyone who likes a fast-paced, grimdark fantasy without a dull moment throughout.”
