If you want to read my full review of the book, just click on the tags below. Anyway, rereading it didn’t bring up new insights for me. It’s still very enjoyable although I feel the first one was better as it had a tighter plot and it was longer in general.

Still, there’s lots to enjoy as Bennett and Sam had a realistic amount of relationship navigation without relying on stupid miscommunication tropes. More of them trying to mesh their thinking as they’re no longer independent rangers but a couple. While it was a good standalone, it doesn’t feel quite like a final.

My friend and I want more of the series. She particularly enjoys how it doesn’t default into all archeology is Egyptian which is why the series is so good because they’re so many places the trio can travel. Brazil, Italy, TIbet! The adventures are endless. She also wants Bennett to be the one getting everyone into archeology chaos and sparking up a specter instead of Sam. You know, shake things up a bit.

I feel that there is so much more to divulge character-wise like Sam’s estrangement with her mother. She misses her father a lot and their shared passion for archeology drives her, but she seems to have distanced herself from her mother as the grief over her father leads them to be more unable to communicate. Same with the cool relationship between Bennett, Jo and their father.

There’s still plenty to explore. It may have been over a year, but I still have hopes that Sam Knox and her friends will return again!
