/lit/ - Literature

So I actually read these.
In Amulet of Power, Laura reads just like a 90's video game character. Boisterous and confident, she lost no opportunity to verbally remind other characters that she didn't need no man (this grew tiresome). Plot felt very similar to the first Mummy movie. The twist was painfully obvious. No Tombs were raided :( I didn't much care for this one.
In The Lost Cult, Laura was far more relatable. She let her competency speak for itself and even had feelings for a guy (the wrong guy). Featured a tragic anti-laura femme and her lovesick paramour, an extreme rock climber with experimental prosthetic arms (lost them in a recent accident). This was a Cthulhu plot and the twists weren't telegraphed so hard as the first one. A tomb actually got raided! I enjoyed this one.
In The Man of Bronze we get another narrative style. Basically she narrates stuff as it happens and even breaks the fourth wall occasionally (not my favorite style). Looking for multiple objects this time, several tombs are raided in a dangerous race against her arch-nemesis (whom she'd embarrassed, but not competed with in the first two books). Got tired of the writing, until the plot opened up in the final quarter (ancient androids pursuing each other across time). The finale also had some of the best action sequences of the trilogy.
The trilogy features some recurring characters and references to previous books, so all three authors made it fit together. A fairly harmless waste of time. Really I just like the low-poly Laura renders on each cover :3

Sheesh, I can't leave you guys alone for two minutes...
Let's return our discussion to quality works of fiction.

Don't actually go to /g/, it's horrible.
