This book was ok. My main issue is that as the series progresses, the storylines start to feel repetitive. It's understandable though, since there are only so many scenarios an archaeologist can realistically become involved in.
My overall stance is that this book in particular there is too much Nelson and not enough Cathbad. I hope that in the next book, there will be more emphasis on Cathbad's character because he's by far my favourite character.
I hope that in the next book Nelson comes home to find the locks changed and a note saying Michelle has left him. Despite not even knowing whether I like Michelle as we don't know her all that well, I think that she still deserves better.
