The main setting for this book is in Peru, near an archaeological dig. I was drawn into the ancient myth involved with this story. I could really see that old world coming to life! The present day theme of the tale was very intriguing, there were some good moments of intensity. The characters were believable and easy to relate with. It was a very original concept Fiona Brand put together. It was interesting to follow basically two tales set hundreds of years apart, yet also all at once. The only drawback I had was that it seemed to end to soon, I felt the story could have gone farther.
