There is a legend that has been whispered through the ages, a story of trepidation and mystery, known as the forbidden curse of Atlantis. Said to have occurred thousands of years ago, this tale has captivated the imagination of many, but only for those brave enough to seek its secrets. Atlantis, a fabled island submerged beneath the depths of the ocean, was believed to be a utopia of advanced civilization and wealth. Its inhabitants were said to possess incomprehensible power and knowledge, making Atlantis a prosperous and envied society. However, arrogance and hubris enveloped the hearts of its people, leading to their ultimate downfall. According to the legend, the forbidden curse of Atlantis was a punishment brought upon the island and its inhabitants by the gods themselves.
The journey to Atlantis is a difficult venture unto itself. One must first descend toward a specific point in the Atlantic Ocean. Travelers must then successfully pass a Leviathan to an underground tunnel it guards. Upon surfacing into the entrance of a cavern, travelers must trek for days through the catacombs of Atlantean ruins, facing various dangers such as forgotten Atlantean machines, deep chasms, and hostile wildlife such as Pyreflies. Finally, there is a dormant volcano they must pass before reaching Atlantis. Around 1000 BC, during the time of the shepherd Aziz, he was able to access the Atlantean catacombs by way of a cave on the surface, an entrance which had become submerged by the time of a failed Viking expedition in 793. As told in the framing story of the Atlantis Subterranean Tours guidebook, after the original expedition, Whitmore Enterprises discovered other means of reaching the Atlantean Highway through hidden caverns in Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico and Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. These would be the routes they would use to allow celebrities, dignitaries, and Whitmore employees to visit Atlantis on secret trips.

For the visual design, directors Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale immediately did not want Atlantis to be heavily influenced by the commonly used Greek look.
According to the legend, the forbidden curse of Atlantis was a punishment brought upon the island and its inhabitants by the gods themselves. Seeking to humble the Atlanteans and rectify their misplaced pride, the gods decided to unleash a cataclysmic event that would sink the island beneath the ocean waves. The curse, it is said, was triggered by an act of defiance committed by the Atlanteans against the gods.
Review for Atlantis II
This act remains shrouded in mystery, perpetuating the intrigue and allure of Atlantis. The gods, angered by this defiance, unleashed their wrath upon the island, bringing forth earthquakes, tsunamis, and a relentless flood that swallowed Atlantis whole. The curse not only doomed the land but also entwined the fate of the Atlanteans. Divided into factions, each possessing a particular skill or element, the survivors of Atlantis were cursed to carry their heritage as a constant reminder of their once great civilization. Some believe that these cursed descendants continue to exist in hidden pockets of the world, their powers and knowledge undermined by their eternal punishment. Legends surrounding the forbidden curse of Atlantis vary, with some claiming that its remnants still hold powerful artifacts and treasures. These artifacts, it is believed, can only be accessed by those who possess the key to the curse's mystery. Many have embarked on quests to uncover the truth behind Atlantis and its curse, but few have returned with tangible evidence. The forbidden curse of Atlantis remains a mythical enigma, a cautionary tale of the consequences of arrogance and defiance. Its allure persists, tempting the curious and the adventurous, who seek to unveil its secrets and perhaps, alleviate the curse that binds the descendants of Atlantis. Until then, the forbidden curse of Atlantis will continue to captivate the imagination and etch its indelible mark on the annals of history..

Furthermore, the writing style was dull and lacked any excitement or suspense. Overall, I found "The Forbidden Curse of Atlantis" to be a tedious and unengaging read.
2. Jack - ★★☆☆☆
"The Forbidden Curse of Atlantis" had all the elements for an exciting story, but it fell extremely short in execution. The pacing was all over the place, with slow moments dragging on and sudden action scenes feeling rushed and chaotic. The descriptions were too detailed, often distracting from the main story. Additionally, the dialogue felt forced and unrealistic, making it difficult to truly immerse myself in the narrative. I was disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to anyone seeking an engrossing adventure.
3. Sarah - ★★☆☆☆
As a fan of fantasy novels, I was really looking forward to "The Forbidden Curse of Atlantis." However, the world-building in this book was underwhelming. The author barely scratched the surface of the mythical Atlantis, leaving me unsatisfied and craving more depth and exploration. The magical elements were introduced haphazardly, without proper explanation or development. The romantic subplot also felt forced and unnecessary, taking away from the overall plot. Unfortunately, "The Forbidden Curse of Atlantis" fell short of my expectations and left me disappointed.
