First, THERE'S A CHARACTER WITH MY NAME??!! I mean, it's not used in the book (which makes sense in context) but still??? Hello??? I've been waiting for this day my entire life...

I haven't read a spy story in so long so I thought this was a really fun time! And honestly, I was expecting an all-white cast, or at least a racially-ambiguous one, but there's actual diversity. For some reason a lot of books are like "this character is from (insert city in another country)" and then proceed to always make them white. Not the case here!

The biggest thing I noticed about the book was the POV, which was 3rd person omniscient. I don't see that a lot, except technically in books that switch POVs at chapter breaks. At first this threw me off, but it makes a lot of sense for a story like this - all the pieces come together like a spy movie so you can get a good sense of the whole picture. Despite being unsure of this style at the beginning, I think it definitely proved its worth by the end.

I'll for sure be picking up the second one! Can't wait to see where the story goes next.
