I really want to enjoy this book, and there were elements I did enjoy. For instance, I enjoyed reading about The Hague and the trials and the work of an international court interpreter. However, the story felt a bit shallow. Every time I thought I’d discovered the plot line that was going to add more depth to the story, it plateaued.
All in all, it was a quick read that managed to feel light, despite moments of darker subject matter. Sometimes I need that in a book.
