many were lame

After reading the lame Camino series books, its good to see Grisham getting back to truly legal story. This story was very interesting with many threads crossing.

pretty generic “fish out of water” story. Not a lot really happens. Lots of food discussion. I kept waiting from some twist but none came. After first reveal, nothing special happens.

I am giving up on this series. I can't specifically say why but it just doesn't keep my interest. Not sure if its the writing style, the story, the characters or maybe the audio book narration or a combination but stopping after 2 books.

DNF

This was barely a 3. It just flat.

It was good just could not give a fourth star

Very different then I thought it would be. It is a well written time travel story with some interesting twists. Like the title says, its a constant one damned thing after another. Never stops and keeps reader engaged.

This is a really interesting story. The resolution seemed to come a little too easy after just a detailed setup. Jack Carr's style rubbed me the wrong way through the first 2 books in series but its making more sense and I am enjoying this series.

This book was interesting but once it got to the time travel stories in detail (last 25%) it seemed a little lost and repetitive.

This was a well written book. I just could not get to 4 stars (3.8).

This was an amazing. The well told scientific details about the chemistry of complex nuclear reactions. So many incidents that are not the big reactor explosions. Well done and worth the read.

I am a little torn. I didn't really enjoy this but I am not sure exactly why. Was it the story was not that interesting? Was it the main character was obnoxious? Was it the cop out ending? Probably a little of all.

This book started really interesting but then fell back in to the generic spy tropes.
Corrupt government group needs to take out our own agents.
Retired agent gets pulled back in.
Retired agent while being hunted by government kill teams, freely takes private jets everywhere, has access to money, his old contacts, weapons but the hunters have no clue.
The hero tracks down bad guy via Instagram. Yes Instagram..
Lots of new characters who only provide a plot point then the disappear or die.
Over the top action that goes on way too longer than necessary.
This has nothing to do with Bourne series except they say Treadstone a few times, flash backs of extensive training and taking pills.

30 hours! Dragged on and on and on.

Proud of myself. I actually deduced the solution to 3 of 4.

I just did not enjoy the book. It was very choppy the relationship dynamics was obvious but keep being repeated over and over. The “bad” guy was good but a little too emo. #QUITSERIES

only 1.5 hours but its a badly written and overacted.

did not keep my interest

not has detailed as I would like. just a bunch of anecdotes about archeologists working or protecting sites.

I just can't give it a 4

I was really interested in the story line of this book but the execution was painful. This book is SO SO slow. I listened to the 12.5 hr audio book. I bet 2 hours could have been cut to tighten it up. I finished it because I did want to find out the ending but I almost stopped several times. Cannot recommend.

I skipped several sections that did not interest me. The ones I listened to were educational.

Well it turns out the summary was better written than the book. Predictable, all characters somehow know each other, the whole good vs evil vibe is quirky. I am done with this series.
On a side note. What's with the authors pen names? “L.C. Shaw is the pen name of internationally bestselling author Lynne Constantine who also writes psychological thrillers with her sister as Liv Constantine.” However, the “Liv Constantine” is another pen name. “Liv Constantine is the pen name of bestselling authors Lynne Constantine and Valerie Constantine.” #QUITSERIES

I got an early release for an honest review. I still love this series and I am glad the whole gang is back together. The story moves along. The author once again takes you to mythological characters and places you may not be familiar with. This is an aspect that I love of this series. It always expands my knowledge of other religious beliefs in a fun and interesting way. This book definitely went a different direction than I thought it would. That is a good thing.
