This wasn’t to my taste to be honest. If it was a film, it would be a low budget Sunday afternoon, easy watch.

For me, I got quite annoyed with the repetition of words and phrases as if the writer had a set description that was copied and pasted. It is a very descriptive story - maybe too much, and the story is very “high level” - almost an overview - they wanted to find something that was hard to find and secret, and moments later they have!

The pictures at the start of each chapter were excellent though and did set the scene for what was about to happen.

My apologies again, this just wasn’t to my taste. If you enjoy fast paced, short adventure stories then this is perfect for you.
