Mini Review
This one ended up being better than I anticipated (Strictly from the fact that I pulled it blind from my shelf but am a mood reader and wasn’t in the mood for it. I've heard amazing things about it overall!). If you like Jack Ryan, historical references, art, culture, puzzles, strong imagery, and a bit of thrill and adventure, this is for you! It’s slower paced, and I’ll be honest I wasn’t particularly attached to any of the characters. Once I got about halfway through, it really started to pick up and there were some twists and turns that surprised me along the way.

As usual it turned out to be one of my favourite Dan Brown books probably because I loveeee Robert Langdon hahaha. Got a little sidetracked by the writing in the beginning part of the book cos something felt different about it, and I was quite lost in the first part probably because Robert was lost / confused too. Also this time reading his book I got a little annoyed at the winding and convoluted descriptions (lolol becoming more detail oriented than before) but as usual really fast-paced and exciting and I particularly love the back stories of all the characters this time. And apparently I'm getting better at recognising plot twists or at least anticipating them because halfway through the book I stopped trusting Sienna. LOLLLL. And I think I will make a list of all the places he included in his books on my to-visit list in Europe in future hehe.

Personally, I think this is the best of the Robert Langdon books. I have read the other three and , while they are good fun reads, this one seemed to have more to it. I was immediately hooked both by the plot and desperately wanting to find out what happened. Is it going to be remembered as a faultless work of literature? Probably not, but it is an extremely fast-paced and thrilling read to start off your summer.
