I definitely liked this one. I do also think it's the weakest of the three (currently published) Weir books. Which is a shame because it's the only one with a female protagonist. It wasn't until about halfway through the book and it turned into a zany caper with the side characters that I started really enjoying it. I wish the first half had had that same energy. Absolutely worth a read if you liked either of his other books. Project Hail Mary was a better read for me, though.
