Uncovering Cobbogoth Hannah L Clark Books

At one time, the Cobbogothians were only a myth to seventeen year old Norah Lukens. But when her Uncle Jack was brutally killed, she needed to quickly decipher his archaeology journal in order to try to solve his murder. Now she not only needs to believe the Cobbogothians are real, but she needs to find the lost city of Cobbogoth. It would seem the Cobbogothians have enemies too which places Norah more in harm’s way. They are powerful and will go to any limits to discover what she knows.

Before discovering her uncle’s death, she had been looking forward to coming home from school and to possibly reigniting with James Riley, her neighbor and possibly more than just a friend. But now, she’s a bit confused about his actions. Can she trust him? The bigger question may be, who can she trust?

I’m not accustomed to reading fantasy, but a good author can take you by the hand and lead you dexterously through any genre – character detail and scenes which open your eyes to a whole new world. I believe Ms. Clark has a fair amount of this talent. I could ‘see’ what was taking place without great effort. Norah is sketched as an extremely smart individual, yet she is not obsessed with her mental capabilities. The story does have flashback moments to which the reader needs to adjust and figure where they belong in the big picture. I rated this 3.5 out of 5.

Uncovering Cobbogoth Hannah L Clark Books Reviews

Did I enjoy this book If there's one thing I like more than a book about a fake, ancient civilization, it's a book about a fake, ancient civilization that loves rocks. And, friends, if there's one thing I like even MORE than a book about a fake, ancient, rock-loving civilization, it's a book about a fake, ancient, rock-loving civilization that secretly still exists. Oh yeah, this book is cool (and, I know I'm snarky, but I'm being serious right now. I like this book).

I'll spout my usual "the author needs to work on her grammar and the book could use a few more rounds of editing" line (because, as is so often the case, it's true), but really my only issues were (1) the distracting artwork stamped into the text, and (2) the just-a-bit-too-happy-ending. I'm anxious to read the second book in the series not because I want to know more about the Cobbogothians' rocky ways (though I do), but because I want to see if Clark can expand Norah's character without, well, without the thing that everyone thought was going to happen happening. So often tragedy shapes one's character - I hope Clark finds a way to keep Norah from going stale.

Would I recommend it Yeah, it's cool. Rocks are cool.

(I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)
Uncovering Cobbogoth is based on actual Icelandic mythology. It is fun and fast paced. This book was one part mystery and one part romance in a nice fantastical package.

Norah has been raised by her famous archaeologist uncle, Jack, since her parents died when she was just a baby. Jack was obsessed with the Cobbogothians, so Norah knew their myths by heart. When she comes home from school to find her uncle murdered, her world is turned upside down. He uncle sent her a journal and asked her to protect it. It was his journal about the Cobbogothians and it is the only one she has never read. In the journal Norah finds clues that lead her back to the Cobbogothian myth and point right to Jack’s killer. Now she just needs to unravel the mystery before she ends up killed too.

What I loved The myth was so fantastical. This was well thought out story. It had a lot of turns and twists that kept me guessing. The author was clearly able to take this myth and make it real for the reader. The Cobbothians in this story are full of magic and surprises. They are also in great danger. I grew to love Norah and really rooted hard for her to be safe and find happiness.

The Cobbogothians themselves were a bit of full and very unpredictable. I loved the adventure within this story and that there was an underlying romance. The flash backs allowed us to understand how the characters fit together. I loved that there wasn’t a lot of waiting for things to happen. This story starts right off with action and the pace continues throughout.

What I didn’t like Norah was hard to relate to at first. She was raised different from most people and had major anxiety issues. She didn’t have much experience in dealing with people, and in the beginning she is so fragile. She spends the first few chapters being cared for by other people and I didn’t think this was a good introduction to her. So I wasn’t sure if she was reliable throughout half of the story.

Also, I have to mention that the flashbacks felt like info dumps. I did grow to enjoy this story, but the flashbacks took some getting used to.

In conclusion I enjoyed this book. I loved the fantastical elements and I grew to love Norah’s character. I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
