The marketing for this book mad me expect something like The Mummy. Unfortunately I didn't get it.
The plot feels like an excavation itself. There is so much rubble and so little treasure. Some characters might reappear in the second book, but many so far seem like they could have been edited out and only introduced later if necessary. In general it feels like a lot of needed editing simply wasn't done. It's little stuff, but it amounts to annoying after a while. I don't appreciate I have to read the second book in the hope to get answers to the meagre plot, this probably could have been done in one book leaving out all of the distractions.
