Only thing preventing 5 stars is a slightly white-savior tone to the war in Afghanistan.

Yarros’ strength is world building- which she fails to do here. The problem is she THINKS character romance and relationships is what makes her books good. It isn’t. Still a decent writer but pass on this one!

Die Geschichte erstreckt sich über 10 Jahre und wir wechseln zwischen der Vergangenheit von Izzy und Nate von 2011-2018 in Amerika und heute (2021) im Afghanistankrieg.
Es ist eine Second Chance Romance vermischt mit einiges an Trauma, Hoffnung und ein wenig Politik. Nate ist in der Gegenwart ein Soldat im Special Forces der US Army und Izzy geht als Politikerin ins Kriegsland.
Ihre Verbindung war für mich von Anfang an sehr echt und stark nachdem sie zusammen ein traumatisches Erlebnis überstanden haben und ich hab die beiden echt lieb gewonnen.
Der Krieg wird eigentlich nicht außerhalb der Welt der beiden behandelt, was ich auch nicht groß erwartet habe. Schließlich soll es immer noch „nur“ eine Liebesgeschichte sein und kein historisch-politisches Werk. Ein bisschen mehr hätte ich mir schon gewünscht, damit man auch wirklich die Notlage spüren kann. Es gab auch nur minimalen Kontakt zu Betroffenen, was ich schade fand.
Nates Handeln war mir zwischendurch nicht ganz ersichtlich und im Nachhinein wäre er definitiv nicht MEIN Traummann, aber jedem das seine…
Der Spice war ganz gut :)
