About this book

Noteworthy because of its female protagonist and that the gate system used for interplanetary and time travel was inspired by Edgar Rice Burroughs and Andre Norton. The series has plenty of advanced technology, but has fantasy tropes like medieval settings with low levels of technology, feudal-like relationship among main characters, and medieval-style weapons and battles.
