I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was interesting and exciting. I loved the mix of Russian spies and American technology.

I️ enjoyed reading this book, though I don’t often enjoy books I️ would characterize as this slow-paced. Very character-driven, and focused on exploring the lives and backstories of the characters more than advancing the plot. Julia’s backstory was the only one that seemed to push the plot forward, while the other two were enjoyable to read but did not provide much depth into Leo/Alice’s actions. The characters had distinct voices. Some of Alice’s choices, as well as her overall motivation, are gray to me.

Not for me. Though the concept was interesting, I didn't like a lot of the material in it. I found myself putting it down more than actually picking it up.
