Review of 'The Anubis gates' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Parts of the book was awesome, parts very tiring and parts that I wanted to skim and mail the author requesting a summary of what happened. It was an adventure book in that the author sets the scene and stuff 'happens'. But not necessary that the reader invests into a character. About that, so many body shifting happens that you need to remember 'who is this character inside now?'.

Brilliant adventure book and I wish I was a fan of poetry for I'd have loved to get a sneak peak into Ashbless and others' lives. Good read, but I'll forget this before I know it.

3.5/5
