A review by factandfables
While Justice Sleeps by Stacey Abrams
4.0
3.5 stars.
For the record, I rate books based on my personal enjoyment of them, and it is also true that political thrillers are not something I usually enjoy all that much.
What I liked here:
I thought the plot moved quickly, and didn't get *too* convoluted. It was fun, and better written than these usually are.
What frustrated me:
Without spoilers, I tend to dislike the trope of "inexperienced person gets thrust into something intricate and complicated and only they can save the world". I always feel like there has to be SOMEONE with the actual skills and/or experience needed. This book hit that irritation point smack on the head too many times to count.
