review 1: Sabastian Darke: Prince of Explorers was very disappointing. It is basically a really bad rip-off of I Am Legend mixed with a boring, annoying, depressing storyline that was already going downhill by the second book. I was hoping that the author would redeem himself in this book and fix the storyline but I was wrong. Not only did it not get better, this book got infinitely WORSE. I was not impressed.
review 2: Once again Sabastian Darke, the half elf, ventures forth to make his fortune; this time into the deepest jungles in search of a lost city. Peril seems to stalk our one time jester and his diminutive warrior companion, Cornelius, down any path they follow or, in this case, hack into being with a machete. The presence of danger is almost as interminab... morele as the pessimistic witticisms of the third member of their trio, Max, the sentient buffalope.Philip Caveney opens up new vistas in his fantasy world filling this corner with primitive tribes at war, a perilous river journey, and, finally, the hidden city itself and the terrible secret it harbors. He also introduces a new romantic interest for Sebastian in the form of a tribal princess eager to fulfill the prophesies that she would marry a champion with pointed ears. With Sebastian still enraptured his love interest from his last adventure (currently pursuing her own adventure elsewhere), Caveney squeaks out every awkward moment between them that he can in this comedy of errors. This volume is more anchored by moments of serious consequence than his previous offerings, and we can see the author stretching toward more solid storytelling. less
