Terrible way to end the book

Card continues as always to write a unique and creative world. What is unfortunate is his heavy handed use of religion. It ruins the entire reading experience.

So glad I read the other reviews when I was roughly 1/10th of the way through this book. A 2nd-season cliffhanger ending is fine ... in TELEVISION- if the show's been picked up for a 3rd season. but it's NOT fine in a novel, when you've no idea when the author's going to finish his story. The beginning of The Gate Thief provided more of an ending to The Lost Gate, though; no reason to read further until the trilogy's complete. Back to Ender's stories for me. **LOVE** that Orson Scott Card is offering all his e-books for sale WITHOUT DRM. A fantastic example for other authors to follow!!! Authors shouldn't use DRM. Everyone benefits when they don't. Including the authors!

Love this author and his usual talent the lost gat was an amazing book and i couldn't wait to finish the sequel expecting there to be a trilogy at least but the last chapter made me regret getting close to the characters

Loved the first book, loved this book until the last 20 pages when it seemed like Mr. Card was catching a cab to go on on an extended vacation and decided to finish it as fast and as unsatisfying as possible. Will there be a sequel? After reading the afterword, my reading of Mr. Card's explanation was there will not be, and that he simply ran out of material. He says he was 6 months behind deadline and this is the ending he comes up with? Sad.

You must definitely read the Lost Gate before reading this sequel. Otherwise you will be "lost." But that's ok because they are both great books. I hope this becomes a long series like Alvin Maker. Can't wait for the next book. Oh, and Orson, please supply the promised maps!

What a terrible ending..... If that's what you would call it.

Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow U really had to leave a cliffhanger like that at the end.... P.s. dont read the last chapter it does tell you much and just makes the cliffhanger unbearable.

Can't WAIT to start this!!!! Thank you Mr. Card!!!!

Another brilliantly written book. I can't help but wonder though, where's the rest? The abrupt ending of this book is unfair to its fans. Instead of writing books as a series, why not just write one long book with an epic ending?
