A review by soupdumpling
Project 17 by Eliza Victoria

4.0

I first read Eliza Victoria's other novel "Wounded Little Gods" and fell in love with her writing style and characters. This book definitely did not have the same depth of plot or character development but this quick 160-page read was definitely thrilling! So many of the scenes read as movies in my mind and it'd be so cool if one day this could somehow become a blockbuster hit.

Loved the relevance to history (past and contemporary) happening in the Philippines (especially given the current political climate). I wish the ending was a bit longer but also I understand the urgency and secrecy, as demonstrated throughout the whole book.
