Accompanying celebrated academic, Katherine Solomon, to a lecture she's been invited to give in Prague, Robert Langdon's world spirals out of control when she disappears without trace from their hotel room. Far from home and well out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits against forces unknown to recover the woman he loves.But Prague is an old and dangerous city, steeped in folklore and mystery. For over two thousand years, the tides of history have washed back and forth over it, leaving behind echoes of everything that has gone before. Little can Langdon know that he is being stalked by a spectre from that dark past. He must use all of his arcane knowledge to decipher the world around him before he too is consumed by the rings of treachery and deception that have swallowed Katherine.

Too long

Compared to the previous books, this one tries to boldly step into some sort of scifi instead of staying within historical mysteries. It is not a good idea.

It is an okay thriller that could happen anywhere, Prague is not important. Langdon's arcane knowledge that is highlighted in the back text is only useful for solving some very random small puzzles.

Most of the chapters featuring the Golem could be replaced with sentence "The Golem moved into the next space. He still wanted to kill everyone." They felt like a filler. Why would you need to repeat this stuff every few chapters?

There are better books to read, this is just hyped because of the previous books of the author.
