Ancient Among Us by Edward Savio

I was surprised at some of the turns this book took. It was a good continuation of the story (if you haven't read the first book, Alexander X, you will be totally lost). Wheaton's narration worked really well for me. It usually does. I really want to know what happens next, so I hope Savio gets a third book out soon.

I usually try to avoid starting unfinished series because the waiting for the next book is agonizing. Oops! This series is good, I'm looking forward to the next one

Listened to the audiobook and wil Wheaton is still awesome. The book was less so. The first book was a lot of fun, but this one seems to drag. Nothing really happens. They’re running around Europe this time but that’s about it. I think the author could have cut out at least half of the memories of our main character to insert real story line. There is a point wheee I’m definitely supposed to be feeling upset and sad about events in the book, but instead I’m just upset because the book is basically over and I felt as if I hadn’t really gotten anywhere since book 1.

Still a great premise, just could have used some editing.

3.5/4 rounded up. Another book that had a lot of action scenes while slowly building a world/story. Definitely some Dan Brown the-clues-are-everywhere type of mystery. Wil Wheaton’s narration is holding my interest.

I am completely immersed in this world and I cannot believe it isn't over.

Things are getting more hectic for Alexander, who is quickly growing from "pretty good" to "great". I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but this is shockingly good and the cliffhanger...

I need more like now!

Things continue to be ridiculous but fun as the teens go on the run across the Atlantic. The obsessive old girlfriend felt like a bit much, but the real shocker happened beat the ending and I'm kind of astonished that Savio went that direction with it. As usual Wil Weaton is an excellent voice actor and brings a necessary something extra to this story.
