REVIEW

Adventure novels are not among my favourite genres, but I liked this story and I read it willingly until the end. The title surprised me, but I won’t add any more details to avoid spoilers…
By and large, the author has used the third-person narrator correctly, and he has built the characters very well, based on dialogue and physical appearance. The theme emerges clearly in the development of the plot, which is structured with adventures that constantly put the main characters to the test. As for the descriptions, in some action scenes, there is a weird change in verb tenses that does not go unnoticed.
