3.3 AVERAGE

adventurous funny lighthearted mysterious fast-paced

quick and fun

Ngl, very easy read

A little disjointed

An interesting idea but not the best laid out book. The two main characters are well written but it feels like it's missing something.

3.5. Slow start, but wasn’t ready for it to end.

Three and a half stars. A true page turner, it is a quick read. Cunning assassin Villanelle goes up against Eve, an agent of the SIS.

I am a fan of the show and wanted to read the books on which it was based. I enjoyed the book, but if you read the book hoping to read about the events in the show, you will be disappointed. The only similarities are that there are characters named Eve, Villanelle, and Konstantin. If you read the book and have no expectations, you will enjoy a good read.
