5.0

Even better than the first book.

Palace of Treason is a definitive improvement upon its predecessor, and though it’s not a perfect thriller, it is an enthralling and action-packed book. And, once again at the climax, there is enough promise for the next installment. Read my full review here

This book really ups the peril compared with Red Sparrow, and it was great. Perhaps a bit too long, a bit too much going on, but because it kept the thrills high and constant, I can forgive it. Looking forward to finishing the trilogy soon!
