The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano – Review by Emma Morreale

The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really like the idea of supernatural beings living together in a hotel. It’s kind of like a mix between Altered Carbon and the adults from Harry Potter. With that those types of shenanigans bouncing around in my brain, this particular story was more serious that I imagined it would be, but that’s not a bad thing. It was really hard to not think of Link in a little green tunic and hat, and I really wanted him to call Ommily Zelda at least once. But she’s more like Shiek, in that Ommily is some one I would be able to view as a fighter more quickly.
The first couple sentences grab you with the odd details that make everything more real. I could see the puckering in the wallpaper, I could SEE Ommily moving from painting to painting. Ashley Pagano’s writing style is a bit odd but dang, if she doesn’t pull me along with ease.
