The books description is more exciting than the actual novel.
This quote from Amazon sums it up well. “This was not quite what I was expecting. I guess I imagined more of a hunt, worldwide travel, and exploration for the items. While those things happened almost all of them where portrayed as stories told from the past. We don’t go on a true journey with any of the leading characters. Instead we see them as they are in a current moment, near the end, if you will, of the treasure hunt.”
