Reviews for the Literary Inclined discussion

This review is for the thriller

I read this book from August 26-September 16. Normally it doesn't take me so long to read a book, but there were extenuating circumstances. It's not because of a lack of interest.

This book earns 9 stars from me.

The book really did hook me from the start as it began with a monk who escaped the Citadel and (don't want to tell you what he did and spoil the book for you) did something that made me wonder if he was going to be a "new" Christ or somehow representative of Christ. Since I am Christian that got me immediately.

Liv Adamsen is a journalist and when she hears that her long lost brother has had a tragedy, she goes to no end to discover why.

At times I wondered if I had misread or turned too many pages (on my NOOK) because I was confused, but then realized that is the way Tyone wrote the book. As new characters were introduced or as they were being developed, it was impossible at times to know who was the "good guy" and who was the "bad guy." But then I realized the reader was meant to figure it out as the story unfolded.

The story's ending left me with ambivalent feelings. As to being satisfied with the cliff hanger, I am conflicted; however, I AM thankful that the last few words were there as I'm pretty sure it is going to help me understand The Key.

On to the next book: The Key
