That was something else. I thought book 1 was good, with a lot of character development and hard choices, but book 2 was just so much more. My heart broke for Sarah over and over again, and her character development was strong. She really came into her spy aspect and took control at the end. I want a book 3 and to see how Sarah grows. This story hurt to read at times and it also had me adding Red Rubber to my TBR.

I struggled to read this, really enjoyed the first book but this felt disjointed. The author has clearly done a decent amount of research but I'm not sure the overall story was as strong as the first book. The new characters were interesting, the new setting in Africa and the wider historic view allade sense but the whole thing fell flat for me. I found the book horribly depressing which can't be a surprise
