I have to concur with the fact that there were a few loose ends towards the ending of the book.The_Vivian wrote: ↑01 Jul 2020, 16:12 Well the first three chapters were more engaging than the others combined, nonetheless, it was overall an interesting read.

The character development of the protagonist kept me glued to my chair till the end, even though the book was slow-paced in some chapters.Benita_umunakwe wrote: ↑01 Jul 2020, 16:21 The first few chapters were interesting, although the story was wavy ( beginning to get boring and then it still picked up on the way ).

Dr. Grant Taylor is in St. Petersburg, Russia to find out what happened to his Uncle Randall who had gone on an expedition. It had been a year since anyone had heard from Randall. While in Russia, Grant meets a girl named Irina, who is related to Randall’s friend, and they become romantically involved. Grant and Irina, along with others join an expedition to a no man’s land area in Siberia, known as Zona, to discover what has happened to Grant’s Uncle Randall. In this forbidden land they find strange animals, pollen that causes them to feel romantic, interesting plants and landscape and also dead bodies...
Be advised that there is a fair amount of sexual content in this book. In addition, the beginning of the book drags a bit but picks up about a third of the way through especially when the group goes to Zona. The plot takes more twists and turns at this point and, given that Zona is a forbidden land, there are interesting aspects to it such as huge animals and even a healing plant. With its mystery, adventure, and romance, all in all, the book is intriguing. I would rate it a two out of a four because the book isn’t interesting until more than 1/3 of the way into it (which is basically almost the end of the book).
