Having previously read Indiana Jones and The White Witch and hated it, I had low expectations for this one. However, my fears were misplaced as there's a pretty decent Indiana Jones story here. If anything, it's perhaps too similar to the Indiana Jones formula for the movies, but it did make for a fun adventure. A worthwhile addition to the franchise. My only negative is that as the 12th book in this series it does have some call-backs to previous books that I've not read, but none of that was plot-related so it didn't affect the story.
