And so we have Kaththea's journey to regain her power & a reuniting of families. An enjoyable series - except for the first book you wouldn't notice they were written in the 60s.

Old school fantasy/sci-fi. Wrote my thesis about this book and other Andre Norton's. No feminist protagonist, but strong female characters and even stronger feminist implications.
I find it bizarre that people think these books are "feminist". Its fantasy, people. Its fun reading, for the most part, but the series is a bit spotty.
Interesting concept, with no real followup. What happened to the other adepts who went through the gates? Has anybody tried to contact them?

Born February 17, 1912 in Cleveland, Ohio, Alice Mary Norton has always had an affinity to the humanities. She started writing in her teens, inspired by a charismatic high school teacher.
