Spoilers!
This was actually really good. I don’t have the book, so I listened to the audiobook, which probably impacted the experience for me as I find it harder to concentrate on audiobooks fully for extended periods of time than physical books.
So, I’m bordering on 3-4 stars, but three for my personal experience with the audiobook. It’d probably be four with the physical version.
I lost my way in the middle sometimes but that was due to distractions rather than being the book’s fault. I only missed a couple details which I refreshed myself on by watching a summary video afterwards.
But the beginning was absolutely superb and so gripping – probably one of the best beginning chapters I’ve ever read. The ending also was great – from Samuel’s death onwards it had my full attention.
I appreciated the epilogue also from a bystander’s perspective. I assume they will be the main character for Daniel Greene’s next book – getting revenge for their brother.
I’d have liked a three person perspective from Khlid, Samuel and Chapman as I really enjoyed the one chapter from Chapman’s perspective, but it felt a little out of place, the rest being Khlid. Overall, way better than I expected.
‘’Take Smits with you.’

‘’Take Smits with you.’
‘Who?’ Chapman had come to a full stop and was again staring at her. She could never predict what would catch his attention.
‘Officer Smits. He was at the manor this morning. I believe he got back just before you.’
‘Ah! Smits. Not Shits.’’
