3.0

I really liked a lot of this book and I listened to it pretty quickly considering how long it is. However I wasn’t super happy about the time travel element. Waaayy too many plot holes for my liking when it comes to time travel. It also just wasn’t the genre I was expecting from what it had been for two thirds of the book. I enjoyed the writing style though.

This would've been a 5 star book for me, but the end game weirdness completelytook me out of it. I was exoecting a spy thriller, not a Sci fi book

Jeg hadde aldri trodd jeg skulle bli ferdig med denne boken, but here we are!
Det tok meg en stund å bli vant til hele «jeg er en spion»-greia. Syntes det var teit i starten.
Så var boken sykt spennende, digget!!!
Så ble den helt latterlig elendig. Det er som om forfatteren skrev første halvdel av boken, la den fra seg i noen år, før han gjenopptok skrivingen, fant på en ny historie og went with it.
Fin slutt da:) Men kunne spart seg for cirka 250 sider i midten der!
