The Nights Templar had always held a fascination with me, their purpose, their deeds, their secrets, their history. As a history buff, it was really great being immersed in this slice of history again. I highly commend the author for her extensive research. We all have heard of the treasure the Nights Templar supposed his and when the team were hired by the eccentric Theo to find the treasure, it sounded like a perfect little mystery for them to solve, although they are doubtful the treasure actually does exist, they're ready for a relatively simple undertaking. Only.... yes... that's right....WHEN have their endeavours ever been simple??? Boy can they find trouble! Or maybe trouble finds them? They also discover they're not the only ones trying to figure out where the treasure is, leading to some hair-raising and dangerous events. And Black Cronos seems to be everywhere!
Ash is so cool, his penchant for knowledge and how to obtain it, is typically nerdified. He's probably my favourite. Although I must make mention how much I enjoy how diversely unique all the characters are, each one has a different stanse yet their bond is undeniable. I adore the banter and good natured jobs. Poor Lucien, I really felt for his predicament, to be something, someone you detest must be the hardest pill to swallow.
I love the pacing, i love the genuineness of this magical crew, and the almost casual, laid back way they use their powers. The build up is flawless and an action packed book, but most of all, I truely enjoy a book that has a distinct beginning and end, even when part of a series, it's a complete read, with the hint of new adventures to continue and I can't wait for more!
