review 1: This book was a random pick from the shelf as I wanted something different to read other than sci-fi or fantasy which I really enjoy reading but need a break from, and I really enjoyed reading it. The plot was good and I like the historic back ground that was used as well. The one thing that I would of liked to have was the suspense of not knowing what was going to happen to characters next, that can't be helped as the plot concentrates on the main two characters only other characters come and go. Hopefully that will change in the other book in the series. The characters are well written and I enjoyed there interaction with each other and the other characters in the book but some development would have been nice, which will hopefully will happen in the rest of the series. ... moreIn all I would reread this book and I will be reading the rest of the series
review 2: its not bad but has little to recomend it iver others if its genre. The set up is flimsy. The characters underdeveloped and rather stereotypical. The older male with bith academic and martial skills the perky young female who needs to have things explained to her when not being saved but still manages to be plucky and eager.These people gave up thier normal schedules to run round the globe with never a concern about missed appointments or commitments and a seemingly endless amount of funds.I found it very disruptive to the flow when the author kept refering to the main characters by thier full names even halfway through the book, we know who you mean! There was also a lot of over description of people and places. A whole paragraph on the looks and origin of the nick name of a student who is never mentioned after that page. Endless lists of which street the walked down and what direction it lead in. I got a sneaking suspicion the author felt he needed to justify the expenses claims he made for reaserch maps. None of this added anything other than volume to the book. it wasnt interesting or colourful just time consuming. less
