ziyuelan 's review for:
A Map of Betrayal
by Ha Jin
This was honestly such a well crafted story that legit seemed like the retelling of an actual real life spy (maybe it is and I just don’t know).
But this was such a unexpectedly captivating story. Although there was very little to no big explosive action movie type of action, the story moved at a very nice pace and was super intriguing at all times.
I honestly cannot put my finger on what it is that kept me reading (because usually I prefer more actions rather than a fully character driven book) but this just did it for me.
There’s also a very nice exploration of identity, patriotism and what it means to be loyal to one’s country.
