I’ve read quite a bit of Stephen King, but after reading all the way through The Dark Tower series, I felt like I needed a break. I’ve since read many other novels (most of which you can find here), but after getting 11/22/63 for Christmas from my mother, it seemed like a good time to jump back into the Stephen-verse. It took all of one page for me to feel like I was reunited with an old friend.

If it isn’t obvious by now, I tend to stay in the fantasy/sci-fi realm of fiction, but in between epic sagas, I like to squeeze in something completely different. I find it helps to break up the schedule, and I stay more focused if I’m not having to remember names, places, lore, history, and any number of other fantastical jargon EVERY time I pick up a book. A Criminal Defense slotted into that category for me, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth it.

I couldn’t not read it. I’m a completionist, I had to. Based on my other reviews, I thought it would be ok, but I was wrong.

The Atlantis World is the last in the Origins Mystery series by A. G. Riddle. The first novel, The Atlantis Gene, was fantastic and I really enjoyed it, the second, The Atlantis Plague, had it’s moments, some good, some bad. The finale though…

I know, I know.. I finished Words of Radiance some time ago, and I’ve yet to write a review. I imagine most of you have been shaking with anticipation for the follow to The Way of Kings. At long last, it’s here.

The Atlantis Plague is the second book in the Origin Mystery series by A. G. Riddle. I read the first one awhile ago and liked it so much that I immediately bought this one, but I made the mistake of not immediately reading it. I’ll be totally honest here. I’ve been working on this review for a long time, longer than the quality of the book should warrant, but I’ve been having the hardest time forcing myself to write this review.
