I am very happy to write this review of an excellent novel I have just finished reading!
Through The Nethergate by Roberta Eaton Cheadle is a wonderful YA novel that will be appreciated by readers of all ages! Cheadle does an excellent job of weaving true historical characters into her tale that pits a teenaged girl, along with her Grandfather, and a few other helpers, against the very forces of Hell itself.
I deeply appreciated the way Cheadle was able to tell the historical tales and intertwine them into the main plot. Cheadle makes this book about history and its connection to our times.
Her development of characters is very strong, and the reader will care what happens to Margaret, the young protagonist of this novel. Margaret is a very special young lady who along, with a supernatural ability, shows empathy and courage as she faces terrible horrors. She witnesses the terrible actions of people in the past as well as seeing what can happen today. Margaret asks, “Do you think the world will ever change? I mean, do you think humanity will ever learn from its past mistakes and be able to turn away from greed, corruption, and jealousy?” That is a truly important question.
Cheadle has written a true page-turner, a tale of ghosts and horror, and a book that confronts current and past evil. I recommend this novel highly!
Thank you, Charles, for this wonderful review. I am absolutely delighted that you enjoyed this book.

Some books and even movies can make us think about, if analyzed with attention, some situations in the world that need to be changed. Not long ago, I saw a movie called “The Girl on the Train”, which made me think about how many women and even men are lead to believe they are crazy. The cognitive dissonance, alcohol abuse after a toxic relationship, and some individuals use your fragilities to manipulate you and others.
Thanks for sharing this review.
Have a lovely day! 🙂
