Rachael Hamilton's Reviews > Labyrinth

This is the second or third book by A.G. Riddle I have picked up and I am captivated every time. I love the adventure and mystery of the way things play out. My biggest critique is the length and I do feel as though we lulled somewhere in the middle which could have been edited to speed things back up.

As with many other reviews I've seen, it is hard to write a thorough review without revealing any spoilers. Alan awakes in a warehouse with little memory of how he got there or why there is a familiar, yet deceased, person near by. As he struggles to clean the scene as best as he can, he tries to remember what he was doing before he found himself in that predicament. He lost his wife, is trying to raise their daughter, and is suffering from PTSD as well. His world is a bit of a mess but he wants to try and put the pieces together and make sense of what is happening to him. You want to root for him to succeed and figure things out; he has a lot on the line, and the labyrinth he must traverse kept me engaged.

There are echoes of Greek mythology, AI, science, and a bit of science fiction. I think the reason I tend to pick up this author's books is their ability to weave myth and lore and even conspiracy theories with an intriguing story set in the not too distant future. If you enjoy a bit of sci-fi, mystery, and myth, I think this is a great one to add to your TBR.
