Guest Review :
I'm a huge fan of fantasy and Science Fiction. Throw in some History and I am in Heaven. I loved the premise of The Emerald Tablet. Greek Mythology and the future - Brilliant! I know a lot of plotting went into this book and it has a lot of potential. Here is what I loved - It has everything - romance, history, mysticism, traitors, any metaphysics. The story line good and I want to read more. I would have enjoyed it a lot more if - This book really needed a content editor. Someone to help with the whole showing versus telling. I like to feel like I'm really in the story, not just reading about it. The beginning of the book was very heavy but got better as it went on. The main character was 13 but it was NOT a YA book, I wouldn't recommend to anyone under 17 but if you are older I suggest picking it up. Will I read the next in the series? Probably. I think this author is going to get better and better.
