In addition to being a great spy thriller, I really enjoyed the writing and the characters a lot. I liked the conflicts between having an ideology and not standing for any at all. I don’t know if I love the idea of having a deceased historical figure be a central character intermixed between real and fictional events (especially since it sounds like his death is still impacting events in Burkina Faso today), but it was a really fun time overall!
