II liked the book very much and it was also very funny, sometimes a little bit absurd, but still funny 😄
But at the beginning it was a little bit confusing and sometimes it's also written in kind of a hard language, so I needed a lot of time to get through the 1st half of the book. Then it got very tense and I got extremely excited for the last part of the book, but when read it, I was like... 😶 At first I thought that I might have overread something or that I might not have understood everything, so I read it again and I did understand everything correctly 🤷🏼♀️ That was a little bit disappointing...
In my opinion the last part could have been a lot more tense and not just Adam talking to the bad guys - I mean, in real life I'm very against any violence, but in books???! I'm not reading a book about Armageddon so that the last "big fight" isn't a big fight but more of a "big discussion"
