There were some really interesting mind boggling moments, but equally the plot was quite flat. There was a clear build and quest that sort of tickled away over the course of the book, where I wasn’t really motivated by the characters anymore. Joshua was interesting, I loved the nun’s storyline and his progression through the book, but seemed a little dense. Sarah was just annoying. Lobsang I thought was the most interesting of the lot, but he just goes and disappears? I think this book relies on you reading the next in the series, but the first book didn’t give me enough to rush to read the next.
