The book took a long time for me to get into. I felt that the pace was a bit slow and the characters weren't endearing. For me a three stars is an enjoyable but not extraordinary read. This was a little bit underwhelming. Maybe I'll read the sequel (maybe it gets better). But otherwise, I feel like I would have wanted another spy novel as my first foray into the espionage genre.
