review 1: I found this book to be a fast, enjoyable read. The main character is flawed but reasonably likeable and there are a few twists that may surprise some readers. It has a modern Indiana Jones feel to it with an interesting take on ancient myths, alchemy, and magic, putting a more scientific and rational spin on them. I often read this type of book and find that the writer often takes the "it can't be explained rationally" take on supernatural beliefs and events, whereas this one goes in a different direction. Both views are equally enjoyable, I just like to see that a writer isn't taking the obvious way out. It seemed to me that the spiritual and religious beliefs depicted in the book were also handled delicately and with respect, though I am far from an authority on the mat... moreter. The descriptions of war and violence seemed authentic and tragic and may be a trigger for some people.
review 2: The protagonist in this book is such a whiner and having a serious pity party that it's hard to feel bad for him at any time in the entire novel. I felt worse for his dead brother for having to put up with such a jerk for so long. In addition, there were some unresolved loose ends near the end when he starts asking about his life growing up in Turkey - and they just hang there. Ugh...don't waste your time on this one. less
