Title: The Mayan Prophecy (TimeRiders #8)Author: Alex Scarrow
Genre: Sci-fi
Rating: 4/5
Cover: 7/10
A little bit of a confusing start (my own fault for insisting on starting a series on book 8), but all that was quickly forgotten when the story took off. And boy, did it take off.
Hidden messages in the holy grail are only the tip of the iceberg of awesome that was this book. The whole 'Windrunners' thing created such a knot in my head, that I didn't even see the next twist coming. The switching between narrators, far from making it even more complicated, only added to the book, and allowed me to understand a bit more of what was going on, and why.
Adam's character intrigued me, and I have a feeling, considering his involvement, that this isn't the last we'll hear of him, which I'm happy about. Maybe it's just because he was the newest character to the series, but I really liked him and his personality.
And wow... that ending! Chilling (in the best way possible).
Definitely worth a read! (though I'd start with book 1, which I have already bought...)
Hi Mandy, glad you enjoyed it. I'm amazed though, that it made sense to you! Hopefully starting at the beginning you'll get even more out of what you've just read.
