This series by Alex Archer is historically interesting and takes you on a tour of world sites. Whether one believes in Joan of Arc or the magic of her sword, the whole set is what to read when you don't know what you want to read. Certainly some of them are better than others, but on the whole I savor them and read them for a treat. I would recommend to start with the first book so that you can acquaint yourself with the characters, long lived immortals, plus on mortal.The best cast of characters so far for this series! I really enjoyed this book!
Not the best in the series but not the worst either, kinda interesting historically but the action was to a large extent farmed out to the supporting characters. Lot of loose ends.The series is easy reading which is sometimes exactly what you need everything does not need to be a learning experience!
Fairly standard Annja Croft/Lara Creed fare - fun, but ultimately a bit like eating junk food in terms of substance, and great when I feel like switching my brain off.Like many of the other reviewers, I really liked Kelly Swan as the super-CIA-assassin-cum-ninja (the ninja hypothesis, people, the ninja hypothesis!) and hope she turns up again in later books.Plus, the complex relationship between Annja, Roux and Garin is always fun to explore.In the end though, the series is what it is - light,
One of the better ones in this series..Since more than one author writes these stories..Some are mediocre but some are surprisingly good like this one..
I've decided I like the books in this series best that have the bad boy - Garrin - in them. Fast-paced, thrill ride to the end, my ONLY irk in the book - and this is why it's 4 stars, rather than 5, is we never find out WHAT it was or WHAT it would do!
Good books still, but I am finding that I have a tendency to skip over a fair amount of boringly dry details in the middle of these books. (Though if you're into archaeology or history..you'd love these books I think)
