Review: strange view of the Underworld
Rating: 3 out of 5

This book has a very intriguing story.  Cora Alexander falls through a sinkhole, while attending her father's funeral, and she ends up in the underworld.  A strange and bizarre underworld, unlike anything even Hades himself could conjure.Cora learned her twin brother Lucas is also present, although Lucas died in the sinkhole accident.It's quite strange, indeed, but Lucas is more alive than the still-living Cora.  I found her character to be....well, somewhat boring.  She was not overly emotional.  I think I would be screaming my head off if I ended up in the Underworld.Also, it's hard to figure out what's going on.  There appears to be two factions at play.  King Minos and the Supreme Justices.  There is also a strange artificial intelligence named Minotaur.  Minotaur is 'assigned' to bring Cora to Minos.  There is some strange prophecy that is hinted at, but not fully explained.Nothing is fully explained.  Hopefully the second book will answer some questions.3/5 stars
