💭THOUGHTS💭
I wanted a quick in-between read and came across this book. It also ticked the Thriller genre goal for this month. It was an engaging short story that was full of action.
The writing captured my interest from the beginning right through to the end. There was always something happening that kept me on the edge of my seat.
Despite being a short story it was still split into 3 parts. This helped to give a good structure and balanced the story well. The chapters were short and sweet meaning that you didn’t linger on anything for too long. The story moved at a good pace with just the right level of detail to give you a good idea of what was happening without being overbearing.
The characters were great. As mentioned above there was just the right level of detail to give you an idea of the characters’ personalities without spending too long on it. You could tell the emotional connections they had without knowing the full history. The sense of justice within the main character shone through. Difficult decisions were made which made for an interesting read.
Lastly the settings. These were only briefly described, but that was enough to conjure up something that matched and enhanced the storyline well.
Overall a great short story.
⭐ Rated 5/5 ⭐
