adventure, spiritual awareness, mystery and humor

Revisado: 04-03-21

This book has it all — time travel, adventure, spiritual awareness, mystery and humor. My husband basically read his print copy overnight! And I gobbled up the Audible version read by the author. Metzner’s voice was perfect, as you would expect from a long-time radio show host.

Sacred Mounds reminds me a little of the Outlander series, with less emphasis on sex and violence, although there is a little of both, very well handled. Basically the main characters from 400 years ago and the present day embark on quests to save the world. They exchanges bodies, throwing both of them into totally new cultures, languages and social rules, requiring both to learn how to live in their new surroundings. It’s a fascinating dilemma.

My favorite thing: the author has the uncanny ability to transport the reader from an engrossing moment of suspense back into her awareness of self — you are moving along at a clip, and all of a sudden you’re aware of yourself in the world around you. For me this is a rare and welcome experience in a novel. The book is a unique mix of entertainment, a thoughtful exploration of why humans live on the planet, and possible response to the destructive forces we see around us.
