★★★★☆
Near-Perfect Adventure Fiction
4 out of 5 stars
David Wood and Rick Chesler team up to write another Dane and Bones adventure. This one takes us to unexpected areas in search of a lost room of amber said to have been lost forever. Along the way, they will face off against Russians who are searching for other artifacts related to the Amber Room.
The narration of Amber was done by Jeffrey Kafer. What can I say here that I haven’t said in other reviews? Jeffrey Kafer is a master. He has perfected his craft and is absolutely perfect for this novel.
Amber was a non-stop adventure book with little to no time to breathe. Wood & Chesler really had their feet on the gas for this book — tidying it into under 6 hours for the audiobook. I promise you, you will not feel gipped with the length of the book. There is so much going on here it took me a day to wrap my head around it.
I’ve read one of the Dane & Bones books (and reviewed it recently). My first thoughts upon finishing it were where can I get more? Well, I found more (I’d already had this in my backlog and had forgotten about it). Well, after finishing this, I still thought the exact same thing. I need to start reading the Dane & Bones books in order now!
Wood & Chesler really took a premise that could be real and added a ton of stuff into it that made it feel like non-fiction. The stories and history around each event and each area they research had a realism that you can’t fake (or isn’t easy to fake).
Also, giant freaking wolves… terrifying. I won’t go into it for fear of spoiling anything. But, wow.
Overall, Amber was another fun and fast-paced adventure book in the Dane & Bones world. I will definitely be looking for more books in this series.
