It is late at night as I write this review but I feel I have to write it now before I forget what I want to say.
Firstly, thank you to everyone who recommended that I try this series. I was in a mood for a Mission Impossible type of book and the Will Robie series was recommended alot. I thoroughly enjoyed this book to the point I couldn't put it down. I am in the process of getting the other books now to the series so I can continue reading it as I really did enjoy it. The story had a full Mission Impossible 3 type of feel to it and it made me happy as that is my favorite Mission Impossible of the series. What I enjoyed was that it was all domestic, how politics is literally everywhere and in everything and it can be messy. Messy dark, and messy aftermath. I loved that the book was a little predictable in sense of actions but had plot twists and unpredictability with characters that is mild shocking. It left you guessing on who the big baddie was and it actually shocks you in the end as it is not the most predictable character that you would think. I thoroughly enjoy books that leave a little mystery in the adventure until the end.
Secondly, the character development is amazing. Even though this is the 2nd book in the series, you can pick up any book in the series and know the characters. They are so greatly developed that its easy to imagine them, to get a sense of their personalities, to hear their voices in your head and to read their dialog even without the description of the tone because it just feels right with the scene.
Lastly and the one thing I least liked about this book was the writing. Some of the sentence structures were a little poorly written and I had to go over some sentences to understand what David was trying to say. Perhaps its because I have a first edition but regardless, because of this reason, it fell short of 5 stars.
It was a book I couldn't put down, kept me wanting more, kept me holding it in my hands at the edge of my seat, kept me guessing. Just poor sentence structure sometimes. I still highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It was a great adventure and a great ride.
