Well-paced with some good plot twists, focussing more on the Park’s internal political brawls rather than outside influence.

2.0

Overwritten in the worst way so that I skipped a solid third of the book and still didn’t miss anything. Pacing is off, there are way too many people. It’s clearly written by a man and that’s not a compliment. It’s slow and dull and not even remotely close to a good thriller. I was bored and didn’t want to pick it back up
