maribouThe former is a very good entry into the Amelia Peabody series, one which drifts a bit backward in time to pre-WW1, and a bit backward stylistically to more of a humorous 'romp' and less of a serious thriller than the last couple. Which is all to the good.
The latter was sufficiently adventuresome for my liking in its genre (swords and sorcery), but suffered a bit from the obviousness of the climax - I spent the whole book thinking, 'yeah, yeah, get to the battle already'. Still, entertaining as these things go.
