In this one, shadowy corporates are funding adventure historians to go and do stuff. Very much like The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. and a bit like the Kaiju Preservation Society. Our heroes are brave and true. But they have enemies who want to exploit history for profit. There's definitely something interesting lurking in there about our relationship to history.
The prose is quite good. The protagonist is hella overpowered, though not to Constance Verity levels. She's smart, sexy, snarky, good in a fight, and can hold her liquor. She doesn't human all that well, for which I can forgive her rather limited insight into the other characters, who come off as being rather thin. Several seem to be eviling for evil's sake, which makes me roll my eyes.
Would have been a great bus book. There is a pretty vividly and repeatedly described attempted sexual assault for those who are sensitive about such things.
