A review by capnmags
The Kremlin's Candidate by Jason Matthews
3.0
Really good spy stuff and interesting plots. The Wolverines were great. But then other things were annoying, disappointing, etc. The recipes annoyed me in the first book, but then I got kind of hooked on them and I would also like to see a Red Sparrow Cookbook. I mean, why not? Maybe the author could do it for charity or something.
Other reviewers complained about the ending, and it was rough, but I think it kind of had to be. This is a fairly gritty series, you can't expect it to turn out like some sappy YA novel. I can't believe this is really the series finale. It seems like the author left it open to continue Domi's story.
**Spoilers follow** ..........

The part with Gable was heartbreaking. He was my favorite character and I cried. I guess, at least he went down fighting.
Nate, oh Nate. I never liked him very much, but Holy F'ing H. I did not want that to happen to him. Mostly for Domi's sake. That poor woman has been through so much. All the state-sponsored sexual assault and all the losses she has endured. She did not deserve to have to go through that too. But I think that one of them had to bite it at the end of this book because there have just been too many near-misses for them both to make it out, and it wouldn't have fit with the series overall to have a completely happy ending. That said, I actually hope that the series is not over. It seems that Domi still has quite the story left to tell and she really really really deserves to get her revenge and save her people.
