The beauty in The Sea Gate rests in the setting. Deeply atmospheric and reflective of the rich location in which it is set, The Sea Gate offers a wonderful tribute to Cornwall. The past and present timelines both clearly illuminate this setting base extremely well. In fact, I was reminded of a trip I made as a young girl of just eleven to the Smugglers Cove area while reading this book. If you are a fan of great writers such as Daphne Du Maurier you will appreciate all The Sea Gate has to offer. Highly atmospheric and vividly drawn, it was a pleasure to read the rolling descriptions of this picturesque British location. A broken family, a house of secrets—an entrancing tale of love and courage set during the Second World War.Glimmer and the captain set his ship on fire and crash it into the Horde ship, causing Catra and the crew to retreat. She-Ra completes her healing of the Sea Gate to Mermista's surprise. Mermista then gives Sea Hawk a new ship, which he does not promise to not set on fire.
