This is a very solid work, especially for being such a short read. The only strong critique I have are how the general political and societal themes are presented and discussed. Often certain elements feel caricaturized and lacking depth, without making strong enough or decisive statements for me to really understand how the author feels or what they want the takeaway to be. Normally that isn't too much of an issue, but the author does spend enough time working around these topics that it feels like I should have a stronger opinion. While the characters are generally interesting the real star of the show isthe underlying plot. The twists and turns following motive, identity, and execution can genuinely be a thrill at best and only kind of predictable at worst. It is best experienced blind so I shall not say much here. The only other minor critique is that I wish the ending was a little stronger, even if it was just one more chapter of resolution - but I did really love that final scene. Overall, this one is worth checking out if you are in search of a fun thriller, and especially if you (like me) enjoy following a genius protagonist in a battle of wits.
