Re: Is Zona believable?
Although I have not read the book, all the reviews I read lead me to believe that you are right.
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!
Emily Dickinson

I however felt like the beginning chapters were so slow and I anticipated conflict for so long. I am yet to finish the book but I hope the plot won't drag for far too long. I need to know why the zone is forbidden.

I agree with you, it is up to the character to believe that whatever geographical area that is described is real. However if the author managed create a land that shares similarities with a part on Earth it would have been more believable.

I feel like parts 1 and 2 were a little disconnected. Part 1 was a suspenseful missing-person/murder mystery story. Part 2 was sci-fi and they felt almost like different stories.

I agree with you! When there is a place that is fantastical and otherworldly, I think it best to let us use our imagination to create it. Because it was supernatural and unknown, each character probably perceived it in a different way and I liked that the author let us do that as well.Elvis Best wrote: ↑07 Jul 2020, 22:28 Well, I think the author did just enough with the description of Zona. I loved how I had to use my imagination to fill in the rest of the gap, as it gave me some possession over the place. Too information or detail would have defeated the story the author wanted to tell. After all, it was the expedition that hooked me in.

I too would have liked more information as to why the area was forbidden.

I took that it was forbidden because of all the stories that surrounded it. Fear will keep most away.
I also thought that it took a while to get to the fantasy part of the story, my favorite, but the beginning had a lot going on. Enough to keep me interested until the strange, sci-fi happenings began.
