mudder17 's review for:
The Obsidian Chamber
by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
4.5 stars
So I liked this one, although when it first started, I wasn't sure if I would like a story that seemed to revolve around Proctor. But I found the first part of the book with his journey to be interesting. I also liked Constance a little more in this book than the previous book, but she is starting to become tiresome. Also, much of what she did in this book I was able to predict partway through the book. Even the choice she made at the end was something I thought she might do. And yet, I really liked the chase scene with Proctor, and I liked finding out how Pendergast "comes back from the dead". Okay, that's not really a spoiler because you KNEW he couldn't be dead, lol. It was just a matter of how they were going to do it. The interactions between Constance and Diogenes were definitely interesting, although one part of it (you'll see when you get there) made me uncomfortable. I have to say that the whole bunch of them (Constance, Aloyisius, Diogenes, etc.) are all a bit insane--some of them just have enough sanity to allow them to function in society, lol. Still, I really liked how the ARC of Diogenes developed although I think the ending could have been more dramatic and final. But when it comes to the Pendergast books, no one is ever gone for good, lol. After three (four?) books in a row with Constance and her past relationship with Diogenes, well, I'm ready for a change. I am hoping that we don't hear from them for a while so I can see Pendergast with Nora Kelly or Agosta. Even Smithback (the ghost of Smithback?) would be a welcome change, lol! Regardless, I will be reading the next book with interest!
