Book and Audiobook Review: Tomb of the Sun King by Jacquelyn Benson

Respectable lady scholars shouldn’t be dodging evildoers, escaping lost tombs, and chasing down magical artifacts.

It was ten o’clock at night, and I was seventy percent of the way through Tomb of the Sun King. I knew better as I climbed into bed, my Kindle in hand. 

“Just one more chapter” turned into many different bedtime reading poses that truly should count as yoga. As my arms tired and my eyes tried to close, midnight came and went, and I still could not put it down.

Ms. Benson is truly a master at her craft. Her characters came to life quickly, and her scenes stayed with me days after the story ended. It’s a perfect sequel to Empire of Shadows, and I can’t wait for the third installment! 

Additional review for the audiobook:

Tomb of the Sun King is the perfect sequel in the Raiders of the Arcana series. Having already read the book, which I loved, I knew I was in for a treat by listening to it. I expected it to feel like visiting an old friend. Oh, but I was wrong. Alex Picard breathes new life into an already vibrant story.

I fell in love with this narrator’s work in the first book in this series, Empire of Shadows. Alex Picard is so talented that it’s easy to forget there’s only one person behind all the voices. Her tone, her pacing, and everything else are spot on.

Do yourself a favor. Grab a copy and expect to be swept away into a story filled with wonderful characters and unexpected twists and turns.
