i did not enjoy this.
this is probably one of the least enjoyable books ive ever read.
the plot was so slow at times, and then would pick up and be super interesting, only to return to being dull.
the main character is abysmally unlikeable, and i could not give two shits about any of the characters.
speaking of characters, i could not tell the difference between them. the main ones? sure. but the minor characters like kyukov? no idea. tbh there were so many characters i couldn't even tell you who was the perpetrator of the crime. or even how the crime played out.
or even really the last 100 pages.
this book was severely missing some editing. some parts were great! like the entire beginning where we get to know sveta, and when fox is first looking for clues. just a lot of this book fell flat.
was originally going to give this 2 stars but tbh the fact i cant even tell you who kidnapped alex, why they did it and how they did it is a bit concerning. also i literally wanted to claw my eyes out reading this.
