I found the glossary and dramatis personae at the back of the book really useful as a reminder, seeing as it is quite some time since I read Momenticon
The first part of Simul is the prequel to Momenticon, the second part of this book resumes where Momenticon left off. Which encourages the re-reading of the original I think.
A really clever book which leads the reader through puzzles and the weirdest of scenarios, which all do make sense in the end.
I really liked the characters, even the 'baddies' who acted out their parts in order to fulfil the story line. I was convinced that one of the main characters would end up murdered or dead. The different areas of the world were so different to one another because of the 'Fall' and this made how things worked together much more interesting as well.
If there is a third book I will definitely be reading it. I heartily recommend these books (Simul and its precursor Momenticon).
"‘Resurrection . . . resurrection . . . remember Simul,’ stammers Lord Vane, before sinking back, seemingly at peace for his confession."
Thank you to NetGalley and Quercus Books for approving me to read this book.
5/5 Stars
Official description:
From Andrew Caldecott, the bestselling author of ROTHERWEIRD, comes the jaw-dropping conclusion of the MOMENTICON duology - an epic adventure like no other!
'Remember Simul' - the last words of a dying man, and the key to mankind's survival.
Words which take Morag, Fogg and their friends on a wild ride through caverns and over mountains, into old paintings, to a university unlike any other and up the lethal Tower of No Return. A ride where mythical beasts, legendary monster-hunters and a corrupt establishment lie in wait . . . while the weather-watchers look on and bide their time.
It's a race against extinction too . . . for nature herself is bent on vengeance.
