Book Review: Lost in Babylon


Review:  #450
Title:  Lost in Babylon
Series:  Seven Wonders - 2nd book
Author:  Peter Lerangis
Read Before:  no
Comments:  Similarly to the first book, it lacks what makes a fantasy novel great.  It’s not very exciting and the events that happen don’t really gel with you.  The majority of the book takes place in ancient Babylon, in which the characters are on a fetch quest, to obtain the second loculus.  While the setting is interesting, the author doesn’t really make it so.  There aren’t any wonders to wow you and the plot feels very bland and generic.  The final section takes place back in the real world and feels completely at odds with what happened before it.  The ending is supposed to be a big twist but you feel so detached with the characters that it doesn’t leave a big impression.  A mediocre book, still worth reading but don’t expect it to be amazingly good.
Rating:  6/10
