Traição
by Jason Matthews
There were a lot of things I liked in this book.
For starters, I loved that at the end of each chapter there was a little explanation on how to make a particular dish that is talked about in that chapter. That was definitely different.
Secondly, I liked the characters and specially the development that Domi has from start to finish. The growth she has made sense and it made me connect more with her.
Then there were that crazy amount of information that sets the story. I haven't read that many books that are thrillers involving spies/agents so I didn't know what to expect. It was fascinating that's for sure.
I loved the beginning and reading all of Domi's experiences because it made me understand her.
And then the rest of the book, right until the end, was a deep dive into the world of spies and opposite agencies and countries try to uncover the secrets of one another. And although at some points I was tired, I enjoyed that aspect of the book. The chapters that didn't follow Domi or Nate, because it establish the world, the problems and the game that others are playing.
The story didn't focus only on the main characters (Dominika and Nate) but in the entire "spy game". Which was real and made me understand more the setting and why certain things happened.
Overall, it was a good book, with an open ending and the realization that there is a sequel. Now I desperately need to get the second book so I can learn what happens next.
Do I recommend it? Honestly, I know it may not be the cup of tea for some people, but if spy books is something that you are curious about, I would say that you may want to check it out.
