This book was gripping and very entertaining but also unbelievable. This rando just becomes a spy and is so good at it? Again, very entertaining and enjoyable so I recommend it but just know you have to suspend belief.
This is brilliantly, bracingly written. Its intricate plot is vivid enough that I didn't lose any of its threads in putting the book down... which I kept doing because of a feeling of impending, inevitable doom hanging over the characters. That said, there were several twists that surprised me, which I like and admire in a spy novel.
My chief quibble is with the writing of the women, who always seem, no matter how personally vivid, to be less important than the men in their lives.
