Gateway to the Gods follows April's point of view again. At the end of the previous book, April, Christopher, David, and Jalil find themselves on their way to Olympus. Yes, Mount Olympus, home of the great Greek gods. In the way that Enter the Enchantment touched me with Galahad's story, I also went through high school (and college) fascinated with Greek mythology. So this was really fun. We see how the teenager's perspectives of the Gods is both proven right and wrong. The Gods are spoiled, selfish, and ruthless. But for the first time, April and her friends aren't in direct danger. They're actually safe, for once! Well, for the most part.

In this installment of the Everworld series, they find themselves placed in a war between the Olympians and the Hetwan. With Ganymedes' death still fresh in their mind, they apply modern day technology to the Olympians battle methods and try to defeat the Hetwan. Senna is still an issue, but once she relinquishes her control on David, he proves to be a good general in battle.

This book follows the splendor of Mount Olympus, the wrath of Zeus, and the pettiness of the Gods. Most of it is battle between the Greeks and the Hetwan. April, Christopher, Jalil, and David are now seeing that what they're going through in Everworld is much bigger than the four of them. Can they ever get home, and if they can, what price will the world pay?
