beckiebookworm1974's review
2.0
Genre-wise this is a mythological adventure with a slight paranormal slant and a bit of romance.
The romance part of this is actually played down though and this is very slow burn which did disappoint me slightly as Magee and Bryn both seemed such fascinating characters.
This has a lot of archaeology talk concerning origins and theories and even alien civilisations.
It was really well written and very well researched in fact I’m actually staggered at the amount of time this author has spent making this feel authentic she’s definitely done her groundwork that’s for sure.
This one is going to be more about personal taste and what type of fiction your into.
I did enjoy parts of this but a lot did go over my head as there was a lot of detail.
I mostly preferred the times when Bryn was appreciating her surroundings or getting into scrapes rather than all the deep history, mythology and theorising that went on here as that felt quite heavy and managed to lose me in the process.
So why the low rating from me well I struggled to get into this and I think that was mostly because of all the heavy details.
There wasn’t as much romance as I was hoping either and this affected my enjoyment too, though I did believe in the eventual connection that formed between Tristan and Bryn.
But even though I struggled slightly with this I can’t fault this on its uniqueness and research and the fact it was very well written it just wasn’t unfortunately quite for me.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Ancient Winds (Pathways #3).
