A pun in a title is a promise about tone. Enemy A(n)t the Gates announces that RinoZ is writing a saga willing to be funny about itself, which is a rarer skill in long-form fantasy than it might sound.
The Chrysalis sequence is serial storytelling in the fullest sense: instalments that stack, a world that keeps widening, and an audience that arrives expecting the next stretch rather than a neat close. Our copy sits on the teen and young adult shelf, and that is a fair guide to its energy. Fast, escalating, more concerned with momentum than solemnity.
Writers who sustain this kind of serial need stamina above everything else, and the running times are the proof of it.
