I have awarded this book 2 stars.
Summary: The Return tells the story of Peter and Sarah, a young married couple who discover that their unborn child is the next messiah. An ancient following called the Templars are desperate to ensure the survival of Peter and Sarah’s offspring, but their enemy is desperate to prevent it’s entry into the world at all costs.
Review: I thought the plot of this book was interesting and though that the mix of world history and fiction was good. However, this book got 2 stars from me for two reasons.
Firstly, it annoyed me that the characters (particularly Peter and Sarah) were so understanding and accepting of their position from the moment they found out. This made them seem largely unrealistic to me. Secondly, the story moves so fast that I found it impossible to get to know the characters. Because of the story moving so fast, the characters lacked personality and dimension.
★★ – an interesting story line, but I found the characters to be unrealistic and I didn’t get a chance to get to know them, making them very 2D.
