The Gateway Chronicles are a phenomenal and entirely compelling series. As the story progresses all the characters are fleshed out as each grows and develops in maturity. The six encounter struggles to which we can all relate and from which we can all learn. Each book in the series expertly builds upon the last. Hoyle guides her readers through a gauntlet of magic and fantasy adventure as the series builds to a resounding crescendo. The world of fantasy fiction is brought to an entirely new level with this outstanding series. The Gateway Chronicles are destined to become a timeless classic.

Like the first in the series I was unable to find a true interest in the store to continue with the series. These books were left unread.

I requested all 5 of these books that were available at the time on NetGalley, without even reading the first one. So rookie error there as I didn't enjoy The Six.
I wanted to, it has the makings of a great series, but there was something missing for me. I couldn't connect with the characters and found it hard to get into.
The Enchanted is great, the magical elements are now easy to understand and the characters are great! Their development is outstanding.
