A review by cecireda
The Shadow Mission by Shamim Sarif
3.0
I think this went a bit too fast. The storylines didn’t get time to be developed, the new characters just didn’t have time to actually appear so I just didn’t care about them and thought weird how the old characters liked them so much after meeting them twice. I also felt like they forgot about the things that happened in the first book till the half of this second book and then they just threw like “oh this happened before” and left it at that.
The basic plotline was very interesting but it was finished too easily and that didn’t match with how serious the characters said the situation was. And the other side plotlines were forgotten and got only a sentence in the end to be dealt with.
Also I feel like for a group of basically private spies they were really dumb about procedure and hidding and dealing with people who shouldn’t know they were there dealing with those things. It’s weird because the first book didn’t had this problem.
It’s not a bad book, it would work for a 40 min television show but it was definitely disappointing for a full book, especially after I liked the first one so much. I’ll still read the next one if it’s released but I really hope it looks more like the first one than this one.
