Format:Paperback
This book works on two levels. On the first level it is a satisfying conclusion to the Crossroads trilogy. All loose ends are picked up and, although some events see a little rushed at the end or happen off page, overall the pacing works well. Events also don't go quite as the seasoned reader might anticipate (although there is an increasingly ominous aura surrounding one character) which adds to the pleasure of the book. Warning - you may find it impossible to put down!
On the second level it is a thought provoking read about how to ensure a truly just society. On the surface the Hundred is an idyllic place to live, relaxed about sexuality, democratic and giving women equal rights yet, like Nazi Germany, even reasonably 'good' people have joined up with an army whose actions are 'evil'. Why did they join? How do you bring justice to this army? Is justice different from revenge? Is justice different from what seems expedient in the short term? At the end of the book the reader is, I think, left with a very different perspective than they started with.
Thoroughly enjoyable.

I've just finished reading this trilogy. I enjoyed the writing and the intrigue and the development of the characters. It was an exciting read all the way through. However in the last couple of chapters the writing style changed, it was as though someome else had written them. It seemed a little odd to me and the series didn't seem finished. Are there more to come? I hope so as it seems unfinished to me.

After reading and enjoying the first two books in the Trilogy I was very excited about the final book. Unfortunately I found it quite a let-down - the story progressed reasonably well, but the ending was very disappointing - lots of loose ends and no real conclusion.
I can only assume that the intention is for a fourth book in the "Trilogy".

Fantastic trilogy, very highly recommended!
As this is the last of the three Crossroads books, I thought I'd put down what I thought of the entire trilogy, not just Traitors' Gate. They are, quite simply, fantastic. Read more

Is this the end?
I thought this book was written and equal to the others in the series. It was a little slow to start but that's to be expected. Read more

Serious contender
The third novel in the Crossroads series by Kate Elliot is one that will make readers sit up and pay attention as it centres around personal growth in the Nature Vs Nurture battle. Read more
