kgwyn's review against another edition
2.0
2 stars for how much enjoyment I got from listening to this book, not for the quality of the book. This book was not for me at all. I thought it was very boring - surprised I even finished it. The ending wasn't anything worth finishing the book for. I would say that this is a character-driven novel, however, I didn't see much character development...and not much plot either.

Liked, but didn't love. Great sense of place--Istanbul jumps off the page and seems to be the most dynamic character here. The characters sometimes felt too much like ciphers, and I struggled to buy into their interpersonal relationships. The writing is very descriptive and this can lead the plot to lull at times. I'm still glad I read it as I felt it gave me a deeper understanding of Istanbul.

The second book that I'have read of Elliot Ackerman and not disappointed. A "Pandora box" of manipulation, lies and adults with frustrating lives.
