Who doesn't love a good adventure, right? If you have vivid imagination, this story could have turn out to be a great enternaining film.
This is a light read with a decent quick pace. We're introduced to different locations which helps a lot those of us with vivid imaginations. The ending was pretty much what I expected, and with that being said, that is a good thing.
I would like to score higher, but I miss some more world building, and also more depth in the characters. I am one of those people that need a quite immersive experience in my reading, but overall, this was quite good.

This was a quick and easy adventure read with nice short chapters. It also felt like a pretty light read, even when it touched on some heavier topics toward the end. The cover reminded me of Indiana Jones and that vibe was also in the story. Parts also reminded me a bit of myth retellings like Percy Jackson. I was a little unsure how it could end in a satisfying way while I was reading, but I was happy with the ending.
