The Gates to Witch World combines the initial three books of the “Witch World” series: Witch World (1963), Web of the Witch World (1964), and Year of the Unicorn (1965).

Simon makes his way through a ‘gate’ and finds himself in Estcarp, a country embroiled in war, its neighbors bent on their destruction. Escarp is gove More...

Omnibus of Witch World, Web of Witch World, Year of the Unicorn. I've enjoyed Norton's straight-up sci-fi for decades. Of Witch World, though, I had only read the Gryphon series, as they seem to spend a lot of time out of print and little available. The first two Tregarth books (Witch World, Web) are a nice cross of sci-fi and fantasy. The characters feel a bit flat, defined by their actions rather than actions flowing from their personality. Yet the writing has a subtlety, implying much unsaid

Of the three, the final book was the one that most grabbed my interest. The first two were an interesting introduction to the Witch World and the process of gating used in the novels, but the third one really pulled out the stops. The best part of the first book was the very beginning: following Simon Tregarth out of Earth and into Witch World and hearing the legacy of the gate that took him to the 'world that would best fit him.' The 'older' vs. 'technology' civilizations was also an interestin

Having trouble getting into the stiffer, more formal language use. Sept 12
I've tried three times, I think I might have to give up on this one, it is just not appealing to me at all, and I can't seem to force myself far enough into it to get interested. Nov 1

This is a compilation of the first three novels in Norton's Witch World series.
It's been ages since I first read these, and I'd forgotten how great Norton's fantasy writing could be. It was like hanging out with an old friend you haven't seen for over 20 years or so. Just awesome.

Where was Norton when I was younger? Why did it take until I was almost 30 to actually get my hands on her writing?
I stayed up late to finish. I didn't want it to end. What other compliment can I offer?

If you can get past the constant misuse of the word "which" when she means "that" the story can be entertaining, although it never really gets terribly deep.
Actually the third story in the collection was really great. I wish it went on.

Pretty good fantasy novel. There are a whole mess of characters introduced, which can be distracting.
