That's not to say this is a rip off of the aforementioned like many novels that came out around this time were. No, rather this is a mixture of themes that come together quite well, despite the imaginative setting and thought provoking ruins which are described within one thing the book is quite light on is character development. All the characters seem to almost be cardboard cutouts with just a brief outline of their characteristics given which leaves some of them feeling almost cliched. Being an action slash adventure novel however the book itself doesn't suffer too much as a result of the shallow characters instead it rather focuses the reader's attention towards what is happening rather than who is experiencing what is happening. I thought the setup, execution, scenery and circumstances were interesting and vividly described, especially the latter two. Whilst the theme of Atlantis isn't exactly a unique story to tell I thought this spin on the old myth was good, as such I'll likely be checking out the following 2 books in the series shortly. Voor een boek wat je wilt lokken door avontuur en mysterie is er veel te weinig avontuur en mysterie. Alles is te vanzelfsprekend voor de personages, ze zijn niet tot nauwelijks verwonderd over de dingen die gebeuren en die ze zien. Komen ze een ruimte in van vele duizenden jaren oud. Wordt er gezegd 'this is clearly [...]' Clearly. Natuurlijk. En ze hebben natuurlijk altijd gelijk. Hun eerste gok is altijd perfect. Waar ze ook zijn, wat ze ook doen; perfectie. De onderlinge relaties vind ik ook maar slecht en oppervlakkig uitgewerkt Het verhaal speelt zich te veel af in een rechte lijn, zonder verrassingen. De schrijver weet waar ie naartoe wilt, maar weet het niet op een leuke manier te verpakken. De dingen... gebeurden gewoon... ik maakte er geen deel van uit, alles werd in 1 keer voor mijn neus opgelost, geen spannende tochten, geen personages waar je écht mee meeleeft. Volgens Goodreads zou dit 2 sterren waard zijn ('it was ok'), maar 2 sterren staat bij mij voor een echt heel matig boek dus dan maar 3. Overall this book was good, not great but maintained my interest throughout. At times I found the plot unbelievable, and the characters unlikable. They knew too much and figured things out too quickly. I enjoyed the action in the story and that was why I kept reading. The ending was ok, but could have been better, it left some questions unanswered and not in a good way. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
