nadia's review against another edition

dark informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

I knew essentially nothing about this part of history and so it took me a little bit of time to get situated with all the different parties, factions, and characters, but once the context was set in mind, I was hooked!

I love narrative nonfiction where I'm learning a lot but also feel like I'm reading riveting fiction a lot of the time and Keefe's writing style delivered just that. Sometimes I felt emotional and other times I was on the edge of my seat. Keefe is a fantastic storyteller and I can't wait to pick up Empire of Pain!
