Irene L H. (NonExistence) - reviewed on 10/28/2010 + 239 more book reviews

Annja leads us through a thicket of clues and artifacts, discovering Truth stepwise, into a new adventure firmly rooted in the science of archeology with a splash of brisk, no-nonsense adventure.

This isn't the typical offering from the Rogue Angel franchise. There is a heavy emphasis on the development of character. We don't get to see much of the flashing sword of Saint Joan of Arc in this novel, because Annja focuses her intellect on problem solving rather than weapons play.

The greatest strength of this story is in its telling. Though it is lighter in action than any of the previous nine novels in this series, it adds so much characterization and adventure that the scales rebalance. The pacing is spot on. The author's expert use of characterization and language makes this a fun read for all readers. Highly recommended!
