Review of 'Descent' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I have no idea what this book was really about. There are hints of a religious subplot, as well as a "fantastic voyage", but none of these are coherent enough to make the read worthwhile.

There are good ideas hidden here. They're just not executed well enough to make this an enjoyable read.
