Loved the main characters so much. They were logical, sensible. There wasn’t a rift between them before it made logical sense for there to be. When the MMC truuuly had reason to question her loyalty. To be honest I am questioning it too. Where does she stand?? 

Some of the writing could have been better, many times I didn’t understand the subtext of what was being said. Then suddenly characters are behaving based on things that happened under the surface that I completely missed. After a few times I stopped thinking it was because I was dumb and started suspecting the writing needed to be more descriptive. 

Overall, so well executed.

for once I want a spy book where when the spy falls in love with their mark & switch sides they tell that person everything BEFORE all the bad betrayal shit happens. and i STILL really enjoyed the ending

otherwise - writing was immaculate. I love all of the characters. i’ve never really watched peaky blinders but now I want to.
