What a fun time!!!! I got very strong "Tommy and Tuppence" vibes, and that's always a good thing.

I love these characters and their relationships, and the story is so well thought out. I really liked the complex views of war and post-war life, and how everyone deals with those things differently. Social commentary in a queer espionage trench coat 🙌🏻

There were parts of this book I really liked, and there were many parts that fell flat for me. I didn't like the intense focus on war which felt pro-war in some ways (Will's disapproval was very focused on a lack of support upon returning and not on the tragedy that is war as a whole). It was also tough to understand the lack of emotional reaction to Will just killing people?

This being said, Will and Kim are a fun dynamic together and Phoebe is a gem.

Fun. Fast paced and entertaining. Kim is such a fantastically complex character. Slippery creatures indeed.

This was awesome! Charles managed to use lying and miscommunication in a way that didn’t make me want to pull my hair out and I absolutely adore Phoebe and Maisie!
