I haven't read the prequel to this so maybe some of points will have been different if I had.
When I first started understanding the full story, I was very surprised at how short the book was. I was wondering how you could unpiece such a large scale operation in such a short book.
The story is fast-paced and the short chapters only add to this. I read it very quickly and enjoyed the pulse racing action.
I like the diversity of characters and the insight into CIA/MI6 operations. Its also a very current story.
I felt the hidden past mentioned on the cover was a little underwhelming. Overall the story was very neat, in every tense moment there is someone or something to save the day.

It is such a different show from when it first started, I am so glad they fully leant into the more comedic, and that 'not take ourselves too seriously' attitude because it has paid off.
This season looked a lot individualising episodes (whilst easily following the main arc too), paying homage to so many other shows and genres, and they always do it so well.
This show genuinely makes me laugh out loud, yet still has its own poignant moments, and touches on broader issues without forcing an opinion, it just occasionally makes you think.
I love the cast, they have fully embraced diversity, and I hope they will do more with this as time goes on as well.
What other show do you know that would take a fight scene and choreography it to a Sisqo song? Fantastic 👌
