Get Hold Of Lair Of The Serpent (The Tombs Of Terror #3) Drafted By T. Lynn Adams Accessible As Document
great book! I haven't read the earlier books in this series, but didn't really feel like I had missed very much, Now I'll have to find the earlier ones! I really loved the characters, you really get involved with them, My favorite was probably Chey, I just wanted to take him home, There were some really good bad guys, and some very unexpected allies, There was quite a bit of violence, but also some sweet romance, I enjoyed learning a little bit more about Cambodia, This book was not for me but somebody else might like it, I thought it was slow reading, There are a lot of dry spells where the author gives LOTS of information he feels is necessary for the plot, it was not,
Johnathan is LDS, he goes to Cambodia, alone, to visit some friends, One gets kidnapped and he spends the book trying to save her, There is a lot of information about human trafficking,
The story has potential but the details of fighting maneuvers, snake lore and the history of Cambodia was presented in such a dry manner I needed to keep water nearby while reading.
I was also annoyed that Johnathan's parents sent him off to Cambodia alone, and he never once used prayer in any of his situations,
No sex. No language, Lots of violence, fighting, stabbing, physical, mental and sexual abuse and lots of details about human trafficking, A humanitarian trip to Cambodia turns deadly when Delilah, a young medical volunteer, is kidnapped, When Jonathon arrives in the jungle and discovers that his friend is missing, he recruits the locals to search for her, Every clue points to the followers Not that captivating, though the legend/storyline was good in theory, Awesome book. A new favorite author!!!
I liked this one a lot! It deals with human trafficking, is realistic without getting overly graphic, It's one I'll encourage my teenage grandchildren to read, When Delia is kidnapped and Severino fails to rescue his sister from her captors, there is nothing or no one who is going to get in his way even if it is going against the police to get his sister back.
When Jonathon finds out his friend is missing, he will stop at nothing to get her back, even if he ends up dying in the process,
I didn't read the book before this one, but I don't think that you really need to to understand it's own plot, This is a Y. A. novel that keeps you on your toes, The only problems I had with it was it was a bit too busy, I am usually a fast reader and can finish a book pretty quick, but with this one it took me a few sittings to get through it.
Jonathon's temper always got the better of him and got him in trouble, so when the consequences came around I felt like he earned them, I don't know if the author had that in mind or not when writing this character, but that is what
I got out of it,
I would have loved to see more of Delia's point of view and of Keo's, I loved Chey. He seemed more level headed then anyone else in his company, Over all, I did enjoy the story line and the myths that seemed to come to life, It had adventure, intrigue, and lots of drama and mystery, If that is what you are looking for in a book, then you found it! While I still love this author and this series, it needs heavy editorial work.
It goes overboard on the teenage beatings and the expression of feelings, B
ut I love the interesting parts of the story in Cambodia, Angkor Wat has always fascinated me and the story of the Nagã Mani is riff with symbolism and awe, sitelink post a comment.
