review 1: An ambitious endeavor but I'm afraid it fell short. The characters were flat and I just couldn't relate or are about them. In addition, the part that was supposed to be a surprise twist turned out to be an all-too-convenient ending. I'm not sure why I waded through this. It took me weeks to read it. I just have a hard time abandoning a book once I've started it, even though that is stupid and a waste of time. OCD, I guess. :/
review 2: I had mixed feelings regarding this book. I kept wanting to really, really like it, but I got bored. The story was pretty good, so I read it to the end to see what happened. This is the reason for the 3 stars. It bounced back and forth between moving along quickly, and then got stuck in the mire of description. As well, th... moreere were way too many "rabbit trails" or side stories that the author would follow. First we are reading about Sophia's background, then we are on to the 2037 Mayan Codex. There was a point between the two, however, it didn't flow easily to get there. less
