Modesty Blaise by Peter O'Donnell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Yet another re read for me, this series would be the most re read on my shelves.

A fantastic start to the series, where we meet some enduring characters, the scene is set for action and mayhem, with splashes of humour, deep emotion and a partnership that risks everything for the other.

I can't rate this series highly enough. The writing cracks along, the villains are plot drivers, and the evolving depths of the characters keeps you coming back for more. If you haven't read any, banish any prejudice you may have about their comic book origin and get stuck into them. For action, adventure and splashes of humour you won't read anything better than Modesty Blaise.

“A most intriguing blend of history and time travel … alludes to the risks associated with time travel, which deserves appreciation, as this genre often romanticizes the journey and avoids the paradoxes. Dynamic characters that leap from the book into memory.”
