With each adventure building on the other in the Relic World series, I expect a bit of a growth with each installment. Did The Lost City build in both character, and story after Mystic Island?
I won’t re-hash what has already been said about this particular genre of book here, you can check that out on my review of Mystic Island. What this review will do is serve to answer the questions I have regarding the series as a whole. To answer the biggest question of if they build on previous stories.
In this story, Lancaster lands on a jungle planet after following the trail from Mystic Island to find out more about the Zeborno race.
The same rules apply, you get scored on your performance in the story and the choices can make sense but lead you to unexpected places. What this story does differently however is use the images that are in the book as well as the text to help guide you through making the right story choices when Lancaster is solving puzzles.
The story this time around is a little more fleshed out. It’s a bit longer, and your decisions may not play out for a few turns. The story itself is playing out quite nicely, and the mystery surrounding the Zeborno is compelling. It read more like a solid young adult adventure than the gimmick of a Choose Your Own Adventure. While it’s fun to pick what the hero does, and you have ample opportunity to do so, what happens between the choices was done much better than in the first book.
The Bottom Line: Make sure you read the first one to get your bearings, but after that, make sure you read this one. You’ll reap the rewards of hanging in there. Suspense and action are all done better, and the character of Lancaster is slowing starting to build. I expect that even more will be revealed in book three.
