A review by natep
The Grave Robbers Of Genghis Khan by P.B. Kerr
1.0
This is by far the worst book in the series. John and Philippa have to save the world from volcanic eruptions and make the ultimate sacrifice to do so: their powers *gasp* . It was the worst writing in a poorly written series already.
"It was Kilauea that destroyed our mother's physical body, and obliged her to take on the shape of Mrs. Trump, our housekeeper"- written to refresh memory of readers because John, to whom Philippa is talking, would obviously know who Mrs. Trump is.
This type of clunky overly formal (or incorrectly informal) writing plagues this book more than the previous ones. Unnecessary appositives abound where the author tries to remind readers of what happened in previous books in the worst and most stilted way possible. Additionally, why, in every single book in this series, are there so many passages about how twins have special powers of telepathy even in humans? WE GET IT, THEY KNOW EACH OTHER WELL! It just became ridiculous in this book because this paragraph was inserted so many times. Also, I get that the mafia is supposed to be a joke, but can this not be look like it was written by a 5 year old: let's sell Groanin to the Romanian mafia, "they're much more ruthless than we are. Every flaw from the series is amplified here
