Red Sparrow
by Jason Matthews
2019: I've never been much for Spy Thriller novels, but I have to say I liked this one. Maybe because it rings a bit of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, maybe because I like that this female lead is complicated. Granted, we could still have more from her as a character, but I'll hold that for the sequels. She is too contained as a character to have her anger kick up yet. Maybe this is a little old school (US good, Russia bad), but I think we get at least a little complexities from the turned spies (the assets), though, again, I want more from all of the characters. Clearly Matthews is pulling from his wealth of knowledge in plot, detail, & setting, but not in character development. Fingers crossed for some authorial growth in the coming series.
