Thoughts

I bought this with a spare Audible credit before my subscription expired, and I pretty much just picked it up because it’s narrated by Nicola Walker who I love. Turns out, it was a great choice! Tense and moving, emotional but thrilling, it crosses lots of genres and keeps you hooked right from the start. At first the flipping between points of view was mildly annoying but then it became crucial to understanding how the story was unfolding. And oof, the ending and the twists and turns, all really well done.
