Gateway

Gateway
By Sharon Shinn
Viking, 2009. 280 p. Young Adult

Transported to another world through the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Daiyu meets a kind, and handsome, stranger who takes her to the people who brought her there. Daiyu learns from Aurora and Ombri that there are multiple worlds and a few people are able to travel between them. Daiyu has been brought to this new world to stop an interloper from a third world who is masquerading as a politician and doing evil things. Daiyu integrates herself into this new society with the help of her new companions and sets out to stop the politician. While I didn’t find this as compelling as some of Shinn’s other young adult titles, her fans will want to seek this one out.
