Meh.Doesn't stand out like Allende's adult novels, but I didn't hate it as much as some others who have reviewed it (in English).When I picked it up, I had no idea it was the 3rd of a trilogy. I may have enjoyed it more if I had read the 1st 2 books, but then again, I may have disliked it more, too.I found it to be disjointed and the connections between the characters were very underdeveloped. And I was left wondering if something was lacking in the translation from Spanish to EnglishSee my review for Kingdom of the golden dragon
This time Jaguer and Eagle are in the heart of Africa.With Kate Cold's International Geographic team, Alexander and Nadia start their journey in the first elephant safari. At the end of the trip, a missionary stumbles from the jungle and asks their pilot Angie Ninderera to take him to the village Ngoubé, where his brothers were the last time they sent a letter. In last couple of letters they described how difficult the situation in the village is because King Kosongo, commandant Mbembelé and
I read the first two books of this series a couple of years ago and felt like I should have read them all back to back. For whatever reason I wasn't connected with the characters and felt like it lacked suspense. I like how the ending connected all the books and let us know what happens to the main characters.
Great series although this last book was possibly not quite so exciting as the previous ones. But it was still very enjoyable. And it's challenging me to open my mind to things which don't fit into the scheme of my long-held beliefs.
Ive read the other two of this series, which are phenomenal. This last one was good, but not the best of them. It had a little less magic to it than the others, but I do not regret reading it and recommend it to others!
Sigh. I like Allende's other books but really dislike this series. All of my complaints about the second book apply to this one as well."Pygmies" isn't necessarily a pejorative term but it's not the most PC of terms she could have used. And when she's using "pygmies" rather than a specific ethnic group or some other more culturally sensitive term, it's harder to overlook her comparing the adults to children and comparing their children to dogs. I know she didn't mean it the way it sounds when
