À propos de cet audio

Book three in the Lancaster's Luck M/M steampunk trilogy.

Rafe Lancaster is reluctantly settling into his role as the first heir of House Stravaigor. Trapped by his father’s illness and his new responsibilities, Rafe can’t go with lover Ned Winter to Aegypt for the 1902-'03 archaeological digging season. Rafe’s unease at being left behind intensifies when Ned’s fascination with the strange Antikythera mechanism and its intriguing link to the Aegyptian god Thoth has Ned heading south to the remote, unexplored highlands of Abyssinia and the course of the Blue Nile. Searching for Thoth’s deadly secrets, Ned is out of contact and far from help. When he doesn’t return at Christmas as he promised, everything points to trouble. Rafe is left with a stark choice–abandon his dying father or risk never seeing Ned again.

This book had a really great and unexpected premise (warning: spoilers) with a mysterious pyramid constructed by something non-human, missing love interest, spies and subterfuge, but even with all that it felt like the narrative missed the mark. There was never any suspense or any fear that something might happen to the main characters. There wasn't any character growth. Even the introduction of a female lead was disappointing and one (irritating) note. Rafe continued his rather pompous 'witty' narration and by the end I was so tired of it. It just felt all the key "beats" of the story were skipped over (What was the pyramid built to shoot down? Why is everyone so blase about the fact it's clearly non-human in origin? If it's so loud as to be borderline unbearable, why were nobody's ears damaged or ringing? Why were there no traps or puzzles if the creator went to the trouble of hidden doors and air defense? Why are Rafe and Ned so stagnant in terms of character development?) and so much emphasis was put on things literally nobody cares about like how they put a tent up or how many chickens they purchased and stored for eating. It feels like there was a lot of potential but in the end just a rather flat and prolonged camping trip. If you enjoyed the first 2 books you'll love this one, and I really WANTED to love it, but ended up feeling like the plot's potential was missed.

Interesting premise but disappointing execution
