Chloe and Cheftu are once again thrust through time in this second installment of J. Suzanne Frank’s amazing time travel series. Last in Egypt during the biblical era, now the couple ends up on an island kingdom that turns out to be the fabled Atlantis. As the volcanoes rumble their warnings and the seas heave, the inhabitants struggle with plague, political conflict, and godly aspirations. Their doom already sealed, Chloe and Cheftu must determine their purpose in this place before they can escape to yet another time period. Fascinating details of the Minoans and the Aztlans, as the Atlantians are called here, pepper this story along with bull worship, cannibalism, and prophecy. Only Chloe and Cheftu’s love for each other keeps them sane and helps them to survive. You’ll be left eager for the next installment in this gripping series. ( ) El misterioso vórtice espacio- temporal que arrojó a la joven Chloe Kingsley al Egipto faraónico la lleva ahora a una extraña tierra en el norte del Nilo: se trata de un imperio marítimo asentado sobre un conjunto de islas en el Egeo, cada una de ellas bajo el control de un clan. Chloe misma se encuentra en el cuerpo de la jefa de uno de ellos, Sibila, que es el oráculo del imperio. Aztlán era un país que no figura en los mapas de la historia; como la fabulosa Atlántida desapareció en un cataclismo, pero sus huellas perduraron: se hicieron reconocibles en la Creta minoica e incluso en la cultura helénica: el culto a los toros, la economía marítima, los antecesores de los dioses y los héroes griegos, el arte..., todo ello aparece en Aztlán, ese mundo que pudo ser y en el cual Chloe tiene que aprender a vivir. Sin la presencia de su amado Cheftu, que, a su vez, busca por los vericuetos del tiempo y el espacio la sombra de Chloe. Y llegarán a encontrarse; pero, esta vez, convertidos en juguetes de las pasiones, las costumbres y los ritos de un mundo que desconocen, condenado además por la fuerza de la naturaleza, como si ésta quisiera vengarse de su brillo y riqueza. Not bad, 2nd in the series, but I did like the first book better, Reflections in the Nile. This book can be confusing at times, it took me a long time to get the names straight and to understand who was who and what was going on. But, by the end I understood it all, but it was interesting reading about the culture of the Aztlans and the continuing romance between Chloe and Cheftu. I'm intrigued by the epilogue and what will happen in the next book. http://ktleyed.blogspot.com/2008/04/shadows-on-aegean-by-suzanne-frank.html nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
