Thoughts

I feel like I’ve read this before but upon this reading, all I could really picture was the moments that were so well done in the recent TV adaptation on Prime. It’s such a good book though, starting out with a great visual, an intriguing character, a surprising situation. And it all gradually starts to unfold, the greater mystery, who can you trust, what are we going to do about it? I really enjoyed it and am glad to have read it to finally kick start the series off.

Rating: 5 / 5
