Fantastic book but one of the few times where I prefer the TV series they took the base and really fleshed it out well. I would say this is more politics driven than the show was if you’re coming here just for Hawk and Tim you may be disappointed

This is one of those situations where I think I'll enjoy the show more. I found both Hawk and Tim unlikable. I couldn't root for their romance at all. And I expected more political intrigue, but I felt the ball was dropped there. An alright book, but I think I'll like the show more.
