4.5: Overall a really good read. I felt like the ending was a bit anticlimactic. The author had the opportunity to play with the ending and it seemed like a missed opportunity there, but I do recommend the read!

This was recommended by a friend with the phrase ‘I was not bored’, and, without wanting to give any spoilers, I would wholeheartedly agree.
The characters, without necessarily being likeable, were complex and relatable. It presents a range of classes and political points of view, and it is interesting to see how they interact and what they think of each other.
I nearly missed a flight the last 30 pages were so exciting!

This book has a slow build but once it hit its stride and established the action and main characters, I was propelled and struggled to do other tasks in a day when I really just wanted to be back in the book. The characters are complex but well laid out, everyone is so self motivated it’s fascinating, it’s absolutely a psychological thriller in how manipulated your emotions will be as you follow the plot and characters and then — yeah, well, it’s not a romp! I mean, it’s loosely based on a classic tragedy, so… but yeah, absolutely worth the devastation.

Amazing mix of thriller and political wake up call. Ambitiously bleak ending. Great characterisation, kept me guessing about motivations.
It just wasn’t clicking for me, I was a bit bored and not enjoying the plot
