The Socialite Spy: In Pursuit of a King: A GRIPPING HISTORICAL SPY SAGA by Sarah Sigal
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? N/A
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? N/A
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.75
I was quite excited when Netgalley approved my request for this book because a spy novel set in London with a badass woman as the lead seemed like an absolute DREAM!!
The first half of the book lived up to my expectations, the writing was great and I really loved Pamela as a character (Jenny has got to be my favourite though).
However, the second half left a lot to be desired. The book began to drag with a lot of unnecessary scenes that seemed to stretch on for way too long. The ending also seemed a bit anti climatic and I believe the book would have benefited a lot by being 3/4 of its length!
