Okay so, The Locked Tomb isn’t really like anything else, but just picture me this: Gideon, Harrow, and Naberius Tern (stay with me)

Spoiler

who really wants to sleep with Jod (STAY WITH ME)

unwillingly team up to find and retrieve the secret to untold power. There’s a cryptic death cult! Necromancy! Double-crossing! Triple-crossing! Jokes! The gang’s all here!

The book got harder to get through as it went on and I couldn't get through it before I had to return it to the library.

Look I love a religious-themed fantasy novel, ok. And yeah, maybe Csorwe abandons the prophecy cult she was raised in at 14 thus necessitating a weird time skip in the middle of the book, but also she's partly like an orc and watching a maybe-orc grapple with the life-long impact of being a traitor to their religion was a breath of fresh air. Ok. Ok. 

And her bits bickering with Tal and Oranna were fun. 

ps - The Box is mostly a plot MacGuffin to make the plot Go, so if you hate those, skip on out.

3.5 I'd say! It was good! Not really much else to add.
