Okay so I was expecting the submarine race to be a lot more of this book but it's done like in the first 1/3 of the story so that threw me a bit. I didn't realize how much government conspiracy was going to be in this and that we'd have an attempt at a prison break. This has a lot of elements that I enjoy but I think my favourite part was Leyla and her bodyguard. She was really likable and strong and not a stupid damsel. I loved that the conflict with the world pulls in some things from climate change. I also love that there's a big discussion about mental health. I also love that this is British Afghani Muslim own voices. I just loved it all.

Also, praise be the cover gods

They blessed this book.
