LeenP1978's review of Manda Scott, The Crystal Skull

“A fan's disappointment”

★★☆☆☆

written by LeenP1978 on 04/07/2011

I loved this writers Boudica books because there was something about her characters and the entire environment that gave the stories a warmth and made them seem real.

2012 Crystal Skull left me quite disappointed, there wasn't one character I particularly warmed to apart from Owen and I disliked the cool, emotionless Stella and even groaned a bit at the plot twist cliches towards the end.

The setting of the story - the 2012 Mayan apocalypse - is quite exciting and the pot-holing descriptions had my heart thudding (claustrophobia!).

I'm not saying don't read this, but you might like it more if you haven't read Boudica first and know what she's capable of.
