The Ouroboros Key by Patricia Leslie


Prophetic dreams have haunted Dan Tenney since childhood, foretelling him of a life-changing event that is soon to take place. But before he can learn the meaning of his visions, he is attacked by a shadowy group of extremists: the Brotherhood of the Grail.

Finding sanctuary underground, an ancient relic comes into his possession and Dan begins to understand the path his visions have laid out before him. His quest will be fraught with an otherworldly people and an event that could tip the balance in favour of human existence—or disastrously against it. The mysterious Brotherhood will do everything in their power to prevent Dan from fulfilling his destiny as the Bearer of Ouroboros.





 I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 


*** Rated 1.5 Stars ***


It took me a week to read this book. And not because I didn't have time to read, but because I kept stalling. I found the story very complicated, too much happening at once. Too many cryptic clues, too many different people involved, too much mystery, too much happening at once.

I just could not keep track of it all. And so I didn't enjoy reading it, it became a task more than enjoyment. When reading it I felt like I should be taking notes to try and keep track of everything. This is not something I want when I read a book, I want to be able to relax and let the story take me away.

I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy this book, but for me it just didn't work out and I struggled to finish it.
