This book has been very weird for me . I liked the story, the idea of looking for a Lost Oasis amid Zahara , persecution between “the good and bad guys”, the deaths involved in the process, the geographical details, etc. . In many areas, was quite predictable but it had other plot twists that I didn't expected so that completely surprised me. There were some things I didn't like :

  1. Molly ‘s character was so cliché: The typical crazy religious who does everything to achieve an ideal, but it retains its extremist religious ideology to the point superimpose their beliefs on people.
  2. Bad words: I hate when a book has bad words because it seems very vulgar, also it made ​​sexual references in some parts and I hated that.

What I liked was that there is no romance. I already expected the typical “and they kissed, hugged and stayed together forever” , but it wasn't, which I loved. As an extra touch, caught me off the end of the twins (what I wont say because I don't want to ruin anyone's reading).

In conclusion, this book has its virtues and defects equally but it's great to hang out and enjoy a little quick reading .
