Helpful Score: 1
This one didn't live up to the hype I expected. I certainly enjoyed it and it was certainly original but I didn't have the emotional and overwhelming reaction I was expecting given the reviews from both the critics and the readers. Maybe this is one of the cases where I'd waited too long to read it.
The plethora of plane and piloting details detracted from the story; I am just not interested in all of that and I found myself tuning out during the descriptions. I can't get worked up or excited over a type of plane - I don't know the differences between them and I don't care.
Maddie and Queenie are interesting enough characters but I connected with neither enough to bond with the book. The plots surrounding them kept me interested and I liked how the book turned out and the minor characters all connected. The book was enjoyable enough on that level - as a spy story from two perspectives - but fell flat, too.
