review 1: I picked this book up in December before the 21st and was excited to read it because the back cover promised a cool tale with the Mayan prediction about the end of the world as a backdrop. I was really disappointed. There apparently is a legend about crystal skulls (not covered in the novel) that would have been useful. I kept reading and discovering that my mind had wandered elsewhere and I had no idea what I'd just read. Some people really like this book, though, according to goodreads reviews.
review 2: It sounded so promising but did not deliver.When I first discovered this book and read the description I was quite excited. I expected it to be along the lines of Discovery of Witches, since it had a basis in academia and dealt with stories of the occult and ... moreancient legends. The first three or four chapters drew me right in, and I was prepared for a quick and passionate read. In the end this book took me two months to read, and I just wasn’t interested enough to keep returning to it. I only read it to see the outcome, but it never stirred the kind of passionate magic I was expecting. The best bits were the chapters following Cedric Owen during his travels in the 16th century, and I especially enjoyed his meeting with the Jaguar people. Other than that, this book was fairly uninspiring and I came away with a sense of vague disappointment. less
