bitterindigo's review
3.0
This reads like a quaint, old-fashioned story of exploration and discovery - H. Rider Haggard, Indiana Jones, that type of thing. The story alternates three points-of-view from chapter to chapter; Mark and Theodora's voices are appealingly bitchy, while Joaquin is a placating influence but not quite a doormat. The 'terrifying creature' part of the plot is a little thin and could have used more depth, but the rendering of the friendship between three people who are otherwise quite alone in the world is nicely done.
