The concept of this sounds so great but the execution wasn’t working for me. The villain is cartoonishly evil and the relationship between the sisters just seemed off. I think this would work better as a movie where you could either lean into the villain’s silliness or play him as a psychopath. And the scenes with the sisters doing their thing could be filmed in the very stylish way that I think the author is going for.

Tons of violence - akin to John Wick. Cinematic, too. Would probably prefer as a film, tbh.

This book was great. It was also very violent. Many twists and turns. Absolutely gripping.
