When I chose this book I was very interested. It had Egyptology. Possible Steampunk. And it followed descendants of Stoker and Holmes. Sounds pretty amazing and a lot of fun! Well I was disappointed. I couldn’t seem to get a grasp of the novel. I just didn’t like the writing style, and the dialogue seemed to be all over the place. I found myself confused by conversations and lost beyond all belief.
I also felt the storyline was lackluster. I just didn’t intrigue me like the book summary did. And I felt that the time travel was out of place and not something that should have been in there.
I got annoyed that Stoker was always distracted by Pix, I usually am all for tall, dark, and brooding but it just didn’t work for me here. And it just didn’t make the story any better for me.
So I guess the lesson of the story is, don’t judge a book by its cover. I thought this book looked awesome simply because of the cover art, and I ended up not like it all. Which is rare. Most of the time that works out well for me.
