It took me a while to finish this as opposed to finishing the first book in a couple days. I lost interest a couple times. It was so much information that I had to reference back to because I couldn’t keep up with. It picked up with the suspense and action around Ch 36 when the ISI killed Chikwudu and told the girls that their friends are their weaknesses. This theme followed them throughout the following chapters and it really became apparent. The girls couldn’t really make the BEST decision because they wanted to spare their friends. A lot could’ve been avoided if they were thinking about the bigger picture not just those closest to them.
