One of the best Tomb Raider books. Not perfect but fun. Classic Lara of a classic adventure. Worth a read

This was a pretty good book. I think his previous one (The Ten Thousand Immortals) was better, but that's my honest opinion. If you would like to read a unique story using the old style Lara Croft, this would be your book.

I think it was a solid (Lara Croft like) story. The editing was awful, though, and the switch of povs was absolutely not evident. But other than that, I liked the depiction of Lara and Carter, but their dynamics could have been a bit more 'friends' like. Ofttimes, Lara seemed to be a bit too arrogant, also towards Carter and I wished Carter would've had a more active part in the story. The villain was pretty flat as a character, as it is often the case.
However, a solid story that gave me Tomb Raider vibes which I really enjoyed.

This was such a cute read. The last battle might’ve felt a bit sloppy but that’s fine cause I got to see Lara Croft use a sword <33

I should have known this was going to be a trash fire, but I’m a glutton for punishment apparently. I can’t even list all the things I hated about this wasted hunk of garbage, but the whole villain who was a feminist who wanted a matriarchy has to be up there. Hello, have you seen the news? Give me aliens, give me a matriarchy, give me anything but old white dudes who run their mouths.

And after 350 pages, I still can’t say who Gwynnever is. Or why people randomly turned into bears and boars. Or why we had to be told continually how attractive Lara was. Or why I lost my mind and 15 dollars and bought this book. Ugh.
