Our view
“Origin” follows the Robert Langdon formula closely, so readers who liked the earlier books will know exactly what they are getting: a chase built around a big, well-researched question. The idea at its centre is the real draw and stays in the mind longer than the plot. Some find the prose stiff and guess the villain early, which takes some force out of the ending.
