Fun little Russian spy thriller! It takes place in a world where the Ukraine war has just ended and Putin has been mysteriously ousted in favor of, somehow, an even scarier guy. This is the second in a series and I'd complain that the main spy has no personality but...she kind of needs to be formless to be a good spy. It works. I'd read a third!
Moderate: Emotional abuse, Physical abuse, and Gaslighting
Minor: Confinement and Deportation
