Bell once again does a amazing job creating and developing her characters and situations in The Goblin Gate. But even more impressive than the mere building of the characters is the dialog Bell crafts for her characters.
Jeriah and Cogswhallop each possess such distinct and individual voices that readers will feel as if they are speaking to a friend by the end of the book, instead of reading the exchanges between two characters. Readers will delight in reading these interchanges as they and Bell\’s fantastical imagination are some of the key reasons why Bell is such a revered author.
