pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Tomb of the Sun King” was a fun addition to the “Raiders of the Arcana” series. I enjoyed the characters (Neil was annoying at first but his ongoing character development was promising), and there was plenty of adventure to be found in these pages. I look forward to when the next book comes out in November!
panIt was a slog. The author was trying to fit way too much modern messaging that the story felt disjointed and not the fun adventure I was hoping for. The parts that were fun were short lived and I needed more of them. If this was a modern woman dropped into the time period (a la Outlander) this could have been really fun. There was nothing wrong with the messages themselves, but the execution really bogged down the momentum of the story-2.5 stars.
pickThe 2nd Raiders of Arcana book is just as fun a historical treasure hunting romp as the 1st!
Have I already read this book? Yes. Did I request this arc entirely for Picard‘s narration? Also yes. She does a fantastic job giving each character such a strong individual voice that I know whose POV we‘re in w/out any other clues. & the emotion she conveys throughout is amazing. I‘m ready to seek out books she‘s narrated w/out any more info.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickIn this second in series, we have a change of scenery as Ellie and Adam have traveled to Egypt in an effort to find a holy relic before a ruthless gang of antiquity art thieves, the same nefarious group from their prior adventure. We are introduced to Ellie's archaeologist brother Neil (Adam's best friend) on the fateful dig, and Constance (Ellie's best friend) who's along for the ride and trying to avoid her matchmaking mother.
pickEllie & Adam must race to Egypt to beat Jacobs & Dawson to finding the tomb that hides the staff of Moses. Teaming up w/ Ellie‘s friend Connie, her brother Neil, & his friend Sayyid, they hope to protect a lost tomb.
A solid follow up! The relationship of Ellie & Adam stayed solid, the archaeology had me totally hooked, & I loved our new side characters. This is falling into a pattern of White Savior trope, but I loved everything else.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
