A review by kesnit
Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews

adventurous emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Every time I thought I had figured out where this book was going, the author threw in a dramatic twist. Everything made sense, but it was never possible to guess what would happen next. 

The only issue I had with the book is keeping track of who everyone is. The two leads were easy, but I had to rely on context for the rest. (I was listening to the audio book. A paperback or ebook would have allowed me to flip back and figure it out that way.)
