Indiana Jones e os Sete Véus by Rob MacGregor
3.0
This book is probably more like 2.5 stars, but I rounded up because it wasn't terrible; it just ended suddenly, and left too many plot points unresolved.
Like the first book in the series, the bulk of the story was fun and full of adventure, but the ending was disappointing. MacGregor is still building off of the earlier books in the series as he goes, which is interesting, but it's not like there's an overarching story here that he's telling; he's just using details from previous books to help with the plots of the later books.
(Which, now that I think about it, is a little like cheating, especially here, where it acts a bit like a deus ex machina.)
One thing I've enjoyed about these books, though, is how MacGregor uses real places, real mythology, real history, and real culture when he writes these stories. I've been fact-checking some of the things he's used in building his plots, and they all check out. The author bio in the back of the book mentions that he's well-traveled, and I like that he's using some of that in his stories.
