They also have realistic moments when this character archetypes break while still fitting with their personalities. And then they just transformed into something so much more. Lucky for you, I absolutely love opposites attract! So the character tropes didn’t bother me when I first started to get to know them. Like we got this charming super easy-going and chatty guy – Ambrose – and the closed-off broody one – Kodiak. Īt first the characters felt a bit basic.

Everything just added up progressively, in a very satisfying way, and when I found the truth I was just baffled. This book felt like a true thriller because it felt like every piece of information we knew was questionable – to the point I couldn’t believe the reality to be as it presented itself.Īnd the actual reveal, the actual plot was so much bigger that I could’ve ever imagined. I was at the edge of my seat most of the times, even when I knew what was going on. I felt every twist, every emotion with the characters. I did not expect anything that happened, I had exactly one theory and that flew out the window and every new piece of information the main characters were getting just added more to the confusion. I won’t say more because anything beyond this could be a spoiler and I would rather break my laptop than spoil this fantastic story.

Spoiler warning: It’s not about that at all. This story starts off with a really straight-forward mission. One hundred plot-twists and I predicted… none of them.
