THAT CLIFFHANGER WAS NOT FAIR AND I AM IN NEED OF BOOK TWO YESTERDAY THANK YOU
I was so pleasantly surprised by this! I thought this was going to be fun but not amazing, and I really need to stop assuming this about books! I assumed the same about Warcross and I ended up loving that too - you'd have thought I would have learned my lesson by now. Actually, if you liked Warcross, you'll probably like this - despite being slightly different genres, they have a similar vibe and writing style. And I enjoyed them both so much! This was fun, but it wasn't forgettable. I need the sequel now!

- I loved the characters! Both of them were really fun to read about- and different too. I don't know how this was cowritten, but I think one author wrote one POV, and one wrote the other. I think it would be interesting to know who wrote which, but it was so seamlessly done, and I didn't feel like I was reading two different books awkwardly smooshed together. I don't really have a favourite character. I really loved Jules - he's just so obsessed with the rune/glyph things and is just adorable. And Mia is super smart and has a lot of common sense, and the two work so well together as a pair. Basically my mental image of the two of them is Jules eagerly running into a cave to look a cool scientific stuff and Mia pulling him out the way just as a spike impales the spot he was in.
- I really loved the whole concept. I was a little sceptical at first when I picked this up. I have never seen Indianna Jones, and it didn't really sound like my sort of thing. But reading about it was insanely fun and interesting and every little detail held my attention. I was engrossed in every page, and I don't think there was a dull moment in here. It was action packed from start to finish, and even threw in a couple of awesome twits towards the end, which shocked me and made me desperate for the next book. This was fast paced and unpredictable and interesting, and it was just what I was looking for when I read it. There were caves and tasks and murdering puzzles and it was like watching a movie play out in front of you.
- I normally despise first person present tense narrative, but here I actually kind of like it. Okay, it wasn't something I would rave about, or mention as one of the amazing parts of this book, but I commend any author who can write in this style in a non-cringe worthy way. I do think it worked well with the story itself too. I mentioned it before, but I was also super impressed by how well Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner's writing goes together. You can hardly see where one ends and the other begins. If you didn't know this was written by two authors, I don't think you could tell.
This was such a surprise and I loved it! I seriously recommend this one and I really really REALLY want to read Undying. The book ended on such a cliffhanger and its KILLING ME. Also - this cover is really nice? Like, its not pretty in the way I normally find covers pretty, but I am obsessed with it! I really like the spine! But if you think this sounds interesting, PLEASE READ IT. This book needs more love because it was really good. And now I really want to go and read these authors' other series that they wrote together. AHH THIS WAS AWESOME.
