Chronicle Concering Books Prisoners of the Sun (Tintin #14)
After The Seven Crystal Balls set the eerie stage, Tintin and his friends continue their adventures in Peru. There Tintin rescues an orange-seller named Zorrino from being bullied, and the young man becomes their guide in their quest to find the Temple of the Sun. But they find more than they bargained for and end up in a hot spot. The perils of this engaging two-part adventure are especially harrowing in their combination of the supernatural and the real, although the resolution is a little too deus ex machina. Calculus and the Thompsons provide their usual comic relief.

Tintin, Snowy, and Captain Haddock go in search of Professor Calculus and end up in Peru.
My first Tintin and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Plus, I got some great insight into Herge and what made him write Tintin.
Arguably this is better than the first part but I can't bring myself to elevate it to 3 stars. Being tired and grumpy has something to do with it but the plot seems rushed and reads more like a travelogue through the Peruvian landscape than a taut action thriller. The art work is exception here though.The train sequence, climbing in the mountains and the waterfall all work nicely but the jungle sequence with a sudden parade of native animals just feels like a trip to zoo. A lot of 'days pass'
once again, motor-mouth archibald provide reliably comedic dialogue like, "stand back, anachronisms!""politicians"?
Wow... I loved the art in this one! Best art work so far! The story was good but not great although I have to recognize that Hergé had to study a lot in order to write this comic book. The surroundings are well portraited, names are correct and most Peruvian concepts are almost correct. (At the beginning there is a South American map... 0/10 in geography). I don't give this issue a 5 stars just because of the unnecessary animal killing, also there is a part where Captain Haddock killed the "bad
Le Temple du Soleil is the sequel to The Seven Crystal Balls (which I have unfortunately never managed to fully read) and while it is definitely a tale of both engaging high spirited adventure and often even rather majorly hilarious and funny in scope, especially with regard to Captain Haddock's antics and general attitudes (like the repeated times he gets spit in the face by llamas, for considering that llamas tend to only engage in this type of behaviour when and if they are seriously annoyed
