5.0

I just adore this book. It's set out very much like an action movie, which some readers weren't a huge fan of, but I loved the tense atmosphere that the faster-paced book made. And of course, I still love all the characters (I would let you commit arson Maria), and the further worldbuilding this book does of cities outside London.
