Danny North as the Christ stand-in with Set being Lucifer seemed very unoriginal and it was not the first time that Card has "borrowed" LDS themed ideas and built fictional stories based on them. For those who don't know much about the Mither Mage series, this is the third and final book in a trilogy about brilliant kids, (it is an OSC novel afterall), Norse gods living on earth, magery, including some innovative ideas about transporting oneself or others through "gates" as well as elemental magic, a separate world called Westil which is connected to this world through gates, politics (again it's Imagine my surprise when over 2/3 of the way through this timeless book I found an entire page devoted to the relatively new television series, Scorpion. , WARNING: DIATRIBE AHEAD. And when he comes face-to-face with the mages who call themselves Bel and Ishtoreth, he will come to understand just why Loki closed the gates all those centuries ago.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

I felt Card did a good job of interweaving the fantasy element, mythological/historical element, and the modern real-world to create his story.
Some smaller characters get expanded into full-blown characters, all of the dangling plot threads are wrapped up, smart kids say smart things and solve problems in smart ways-par for the course in an OSC novel.
This is essentially just an amalgamation of a terrible story line, obnoxious and meaningless characters, and way, way, WAY too much really confusing mythology legends that get wayyyy over explained and added to throughout the entireThis was, without a doubt, the worst book I've read this year.

Mass Market Paperback Even if he can survive the revenge of his enemies, he still must somehow make peace with the Gatemage Daniel North.For when Danny took that power from Loki, he also took the responsibility for the Great Gates. I'd give the entire series two stars but this one only gets one.I hate this book with the burning passion of a thousand suns. Card keeps this story fantasy and I would not consider it LDS fiction by any means. I loved book 1, liked book 2, and had to just push through book 3....but that's how all of OSC's series read to me.

The ending of this this book and thus the end of the series (or maybe Orson Scott Card will add another? I think I have to stop reading OSC books. It's frankly baffling how he managed to mess up such a promising start so badly. This isn't how teenage girls think!
