Shatterproof
by Roland Smith
Fairly misleading cover. Very little of this book is about the diamond caper (a failure, as it turns out), and is more set in Timbuktu. I imagine the diamond was just a marketing ploy. It looks more interesting than the endless information Timbuktu holds. Ironic, considering a major message in the book is "please tell people about how much information Timbuktu has, no one ever comes here."
There's a bit too much focus on the Jake/Amy romance. In that there is one. And I'm not saying this as a shipper. I just feel like this sub-series is focusing WAY too much on the love triangle between Evan-Amy-Jake (with that still-maintained little interest from Ian, which is still kind of incestuously awkward). When we already have the conflict of all the kidnapped Cahill's and this dangerous Vesper group, adding in a love triangle feels frivolous.
If you're into the 39 clues, I'm sure you'll continue. It's still an okay series, and if you can find audiobooks, they're generally between 5 and 6 hours. Real quick to get through. I'll keep going, but man...the tropes are just laid out there, because I am 99% certain Evan is going to be Vesper One or his son.
