"Parçalanma, biz hepimiz casusuz, ajanız, gelinciğiz, hayatta kalmak her şeye değer. Putin'in canavarımsı yılan çukurunu yenmek her şeye değer, Nate'in ölmesini izlemek zorunda kalsan, dushka, ya lyublyu tebya vsem serdtsem, seni tüm kalbimle seviyorum"

Kremlin'in Adayı ile Kızıl Serçe üçlemesini bitirdim. Düşüncelerimi toparlmak da epey zaman aldı. Okuduğum en heyecanlı ve kapsamlı seriler arasına kesinlikle giren bu üçleme, casuslardan entrikalara, gizli operasyonlardan, manipülatif karakterlere kadar her şeye sahip nefis bir seriydi. Yazarın eski bir CIA memuru olması da verilen detayların daha gerçekçi bir hal almasına katkı sağlamıştı. Bölüm sonlarında verilen yemek tarifleri kadar harika olan tek şey, mekanların, hislerin, ve aklınıza gelebilecek her bir detayın, oldukça gerçekçi bir şekilde tanımlanmasıydı.

Karakterler ile birlikte sevindim, üzüldüm, korktum, heyecanladım. Taraf bile seçtim. Dominika, okuduğum en sevgi dolu, en şaşırtıcı, sevilmesi en kolay ve kesimlikle deli cesaretine sahip tek karakterdi. Kitabın kapağını kapatırken, hiçbir karaktere veda edemediğim için bugün filmini tekrar izleyeceğim ve ileride, mutlaka bir kez daha okuyacağım. O zamana kadar,

SON SON SON

What. An. Ending to this series. Definitely better than book 2, about on par with book 1. Still felt it was a little lengthy but the twists and turns all tied together in the end. A great spy series, and though I’m a little sad it’s over I feel like it ended at a perfect point.

We’ve made it to the end of Dominika and Nate’s story, and we’re waiting to see how the story ends in The Kremlin’s Candidate by Jason Matthews.

The book picks up where Palace of Treason left off. Dominika is flagged for promotion into the upper ranks of the Russian government. She’s caught wind of a plot to replace Putin with a mole that has been working for the US for over fifteen years.

Like all good spy stories we get a lot of deception and seduction. The story is tied up nicely. I wish I could offer a bit more information, but the story is a bit convoluted and can be hard to follow. All in all, I’m glad we can mark it off the TBR list and move onto other books.

I’m so sad to see this trilogy end! Full of suspense and unexpected turns. Loved it!

A great conclusion to the trilogy. It was inevitably dark which I felt wholly believable.

This series was just intriguing enough to keep me interested and want to see it through but it was pretty slow at times.

A gripping plot, neat wrap-up and an inevitable but sad ending. Could drag at moments with all the superfluous detail, but that’s what made the world of the book feel so real.
