Order to Kill
by Kyle Mills
STORY
Immediately enticing, Order To Kill tosses Rapp into some hard-pressed situations that we really haven't seen him before. I enjoyed the story and thought it rolled nicely. It got a bit confusing at times but that's my fault--I prefer reading these books in one sitting and this one took a few days because of life, haha. Overall, a nice story.
I liked seeing Rapp under fire with Coleman. I liked seeing the after shock. I liked seeing the new prodigy assassin rise up. I liked seeing everyone move on but still dealing with grief. It really worked well!
THEMES
I legit picked this novel up for a boost of confidence and that's what I got, honestly. As usual, this book nailed the importance of patriotism, loyalty, and steadfastness. It showed how brotherhood bonds are far and few between but sacred. It showed that mercy is not always a basket of roses and that hard decisions are part of life.
Seeing Rapp think of Stanley is a nice touch and Stan's words of wisdom were what I needed, haha.
Overall, this book left me thinking. Sure, I caught some twists coming. I write assassins a lot. Some decisions become fathomable when you have to write characters that make such hard choices. But this novel reminded me that while hard decisions must be made... life is still worth it. Life is worth the losses along the way. Life is worth the hardships, the fear, the bloodshed.
And at times like pandemic 2020, books like this encourage me. Because Americans are nothing if not fighters. God will help us through anything but we have to fight.
CHARACTERS
I love Rapp's team with all of my heart and soul, OK? OK.
Coleman, Maslick, Wicker--absolutely GREAT dudes. I really miss Reavers, y'all, and seeing them fight on was touching.
Rapp out of his element to some degree was cool and I loved the final show down. I will say, I'm not a huge fan of the Claudia plot at this point. I don't like her. I liked her a smidge when she was first introduced a few books back, but now she kinda seems... like a forced plot piece. It might be me. She seems fine. I just can't say I enjoy her or her... "closeness" to Rapp. It just doesn't fit to me, but I'm fairly certain she's here to stay for the series, so, whatever.
CONTENT
R. Heavy swearing. Mentions of rape, nudity, sex, etc. Descriptions of blood, violence, beatings, etc.
OVERALL
Thought-provoking and nail-biting. Really enjoyed it. Still screAMING OVER COLEMAN AND WICKER AND MAS AND REAVERS.
