Book was ok and had some cliffhanger moments. Big downside was the epilogue - book would have been a lot better without it

Narrator was ok - accents could be better/more consistent at times but was still well done

Good except epilogue

This had me on the edge of my seat as normal. Matthew Reilly is such a good writer and the action scenes are always so deep and considered.

Not my usual style of book, pleasantly surprised

🎧 = 4/5 (good single narrator)
🌟= 4. 5 /5
👩‍❤️‍👨 = 0 /5 nil romance
🌶= 0/5 this ain't that kind of book hunny 😂

Themes / genres: action-thriller, urban-fantasy, Adventure
Similar too: "indiana jones vibes/ national treasure" with Greek mythology.

I was given this book by a friend, without the other 4 books that come before it, meaning that the first 50 pages felt like a large info dump. If you are feeling this way, please Push through.

It is not my favourite writing style, so I decided to switch to audiobook, and the plot just kept plotting, you are at the edge of your seat the whole time.

Please be warned the author is not afraid to give you emotional trauma. Characters and innocent civilians will be hurt and killed 😅

I loved the amount of illustrations through out the book, it really helped give an understanding to some of the scenes.

But it ends on a cliff hanger, guess I have to read the next one then 🤷‍♀️

non stop action

Great Listen

Ive been reading Matthew Reilly's work for 20 years, and I am constantly amazed at how he keeps going bigger, harder, more extreme and insane with each story. The Jack West Jr series are a series I revisit every year or so. this is the 3rd time I've consumed The Three Secret Cities.


No other series manages to balance the mythical, Action, humanity and social commentary than Matthew has managed to do.

Looking forward to The Two Lost Mountains and the One xxxx!

Matthew Reilly is in a class (world) of his own
