“Author: Simon R. Green
Genre: Sy-Fy Thriller
Rating: 3.75 stars rounded up.
This book was a rollercoaster of quirky characters, supernatural situations, and cheesy one-liners. And you know what? I had a blast reading this. The story reminded me of a combination of "Indiana Jones" meets "Six of Crows" meets "Doctor Who." I had not read a Gideon Sable novel before this one, so my knowledge of the characters was lacking. The author did a great job of introducing people, places, and things as if this was a stand-alone novel, but without unnecessary repetition. I found the dialogue to be cheesy and unnatural at times but enjoyed the characters' relationships. (I am a sucker for a found family full of misfits with cool powers.) The storyline was fun with lots of last-minute twists and unlikely situations that added to that exciting, cliche heist feel. There were many moments the characters had the "ah ha! I've had this item the whole time" moment to save the day that, though unrealistic, was a fun way to introduce home-brewed magical items/objects. Overall, I would read another Gideon Sable novel just to see what the characters were up to!
