White King by Juan Gómez-Jurado
2.0

What an ignoble ending. 

I really enjoyed the first two books in this series, but this book felt utterly slapdash and sometimes outright lazy. I don’t know if it’s the fault of the translator or the US editors, but there were two lines of dialogue that were almost taken directly from MCU films (as in, almost verbatim), and even though the Red Queen project has always been very reminiscent of other female secret agent “projects” in media it seemed like no one involved in the publishing of this book cared to even make this feel different in any way. 

It was empty, predictable, and bad. 

I was provided a copy of this title by the author and publisher via Netgalley. All thoughts, opinions, views, and ideas expressed herein are mine and mine alone. All reviews rated three stars or lower will not appear on my social media. Thank you.
