The Tomb A Novel S A Bodeen Books

Title: The Tomb
Author: S.A. Bodeen
Genre: YA, fantasy, sci-fi
Rating: 3 out of 5

Kiva grew up going to school, dreaming of being a doctor, and missing her best friend, Seth, the prince she hasn’t spoken to in three years. Life in ancient Alexandria was simple but good. Or so she thought. Until she finally speaks to Seth again, and his first words are “Nothing is as it seems.”

Then Kiva finds out her world never existed at all. Instead, she’s been in a sleep chamber in deep space for years, and her world was all virtual reality. And Seth woke up three years ago and never told her the truth.

Now the two of them must find the part their spaceship needs if they are to survive, but there’s been no contact with the other ships harboring the remnants of humanity for years. They’re not sure where they’re going. They’re not sure how to find what they need. And they’ll need all their broken trust in each other if they’re to survive.

This book had an interesting premise, so I was excited to read it. However, within a few pages, most of my interest had faded. I’d love to read something actually set in ancient Alexandria, but I found things a bit anachronistic at first. Which makes sense, considering it was all virtual reality. I never grew to like Seth, and found him condescending and annoying, and Kiva was very naïve, so I didn’t trust anything she said or did. I felt like the story was still a little rough and wasn’t quite fully realized. The premise was promising, but the execution was less-than-stellar.

The Tomb A Novel S A Bodeen Books Reviews

good read !!
WOW,WOW,WOW! I have read other books and series by this author, and this one does not disappoint. It is a great kick start to a new series (I hope!) with a unique enough premise to keep the reader hooked. Not having read a synopsis of what the book was about before opening it, I was a little confused in the beginning. But, it all became clear quickly and then it was hard to put down. Fans of any YA Dystopian series and fans of this author will not be disappointed!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher I was able to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
***

I was excited at the start of this book because I love space and strong female leads and just was looking forward to this.
That was however was ruined once we meet Seth and see Kiva interact with him. His emotions give me whiplash, he’s all over the place and I’m supposed to believe that he loves Kiva, has loved her for awhile? I’m not feeling it. I honestly just really wanted her to take a good long look at him and realize that even not being with someone would be better than being with him.
My overall enjoyment of the book was generally ruined by Seth’s character. Thankfully The Tomb is a very fast read but I won’t be picking up the second book.
