Mansplaining
For some reason, there is a lot of mansplaining in this book, and the amount of times Lara says “what do we do now” to one of the many men she gets around with throughout, makes for a very annoying read.
The climax is predictable.
Many details are left out - like, why hasn’t she reached out to the people she knows after getting out of the temple? - as per the canon, don’t we know she lived with some tribes after she was rescued from the temple?
Anyway, it’s an intriguing story - in terms of the myth and what happens - but I still believe Lara would know what a Black Mamba looks like and how dangerous it is, no way she would ask a guy to tell her!!!
