“Maybe I am afraid,” she whispered. “How do I live with myself if there ever comes a day you get hurt because of me?”

“You accept it,” he replied simply. “Because that’s what it means to be alive. That’s what it means to fight for something—to love something. The country is good enough for us to die for. Why wouldn’t you be?”

The hunt for the Huntsman goes on, with Rosalind as the most desperate for his safety and as the bait for his capture.

It's your standard wartime adventure romance story with much less of an emotional bite that I'd been looking forward to. The plot runs a little too long and the twists got predictable. Some of the romantic interactions sound romantic as an idea, but the execution fell flat. Alisa remains my favourite cheery, slippery agent.

❗SPOILER❗
I know the length of the scenes with Roma, Juliette, Marshall, and Benedikt were just right for their cameos here, but I WANT MOREEEEE.
