A review by mskelseyanne
The Gates of Guinée by Alys Arden
5.0
If you haven't read the other books in this series, go read them first and in order, otherwise, the magic will be lost. The series is mildly like Twilight, but also different. There are witches and way more diversity and representation.
It is an emotional rollercoaster. This book switches between four different characters' points of view and in an alternating fashion. This does add to the rollercoaster effect since there are several cliffhangers throughout the book. But, I also loved seeing the plot through all four pairs of eyes and I haven't read many other books that do that as well as Alys. It's so very cleverly woven together.
The friendship between Desiree, Codi, and Isaac is lovely and reminds me of the golden trio in Harry Potter. #DreamTeam
Loved all the voodoo magic, the fantastical scenes within Guinea, and folks in the afterlife giving love advice to some of the living characters. There are several beautifully written descriptions that flow rather well with the story. #Magic
This love triangle is SO intense. I can’t even... I find myself being equally annoyed and adoring of both Nicco and Isaac...the suspense. Though I like that it is STILL up in the air. lol.
I am rather excited for the fifth book!
