This book was terrible, I never quit a book but I wanted to stop reading this one. The story didn’t flow well and I just couldn’t get into it,glad it’s over!
An exciting book, also an interesting book. Occasionally I lost some names in the many storylines or connections between people. In general however it was very legible. Edited to add, that this one gets a 7 out of 10.
Taken home with me from the table at the BC-meeting in Castricum.
