cads2425 's review for:
The Butterfly Assassin
by Finn Longman
I flew through this book, so here's a short and sweet review:
I really liked this book and enjoyed the story. Especially the trauma Isabel is carrying, which makes me hate a lot of the decisions she makes, but the book is written in a way that they are reasonable based on what she has been through and what she feels, which I can't say about certain other books.
Another thing I loved was the depiction of the importance of friendship and how romance was not seen as lacking in Isabel'S life because FRIENDSHIPS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT (makes my ace heart happy, thanks Finn!)
Lastly, I have started reading author's notes because they always reveal interesting stuff I don't pick up on and I would have never guessed how much of the stuff was based on real events. Like I knew the language existed, but all the weapons facilities, the fact that there is a weapon fair in the UK, the technological advancement, the Russian boarded cities where they develop weapons and stuff... It sounds so surreal, but it actually exists/existed. Always love learning terrifying facts about the world.
Anyway, overall a cool read I guess I'd place in the Alternate History/Expanded Reality realm. But I'd recommend reading trigger warnings if you are sensitive to some stuff
