Seven Ancient Wonders by Matthew Reilly

3.0

This was fun enough - almost like an Indiana Jones adventure with found family instead of romance. Genuinely engaging, but it seems it is really about the story and adventure and gore rather than the characters. Said characters are archetypes, stereotypes, and other typical types, and do not stray from their mould at any point in the book. In the remainder of the series, who knows? Maybe we'll get some development from some of them... or maybe we'll just get a new character with a different archetype. Truly. Who knows.
