This was a re-read. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy Amelia! The whole adventure was pure wish fulfillment for me, as a former archaeology student. ;)

That said–I'd also forgotten how the tension drags on a bit, haha. And I adore Evelyn, but her scruples–though probably time-appropriate–do get a bit frustrating. I hadn't remembered much of the plot, but midway through I did remember the solution (or maybe I've gotten better at guessing? xD) and came to my conclusion quite a bit before Amelia and Emerson did.

Still, though–I thoroughly enjoyed being swept away by this book, and the characters are lovable for all their flaws. I look forward to continuing the series!
