First thoughts are this is not an author for me, I can respect that people enjoy the writing and can get past the no “””” but this is not for me. And that’s okay.

I get her story’s are character studies essentially and there isn’t supposed to really be plot and I enjoy the idea of that, and in the future hope to find an author that writes that and I enjoy ~ not today though lol. I liked the chess talk and the ending was nice~ and this is probably just me but the last quarter I was really hoping a character would die. I would have gave it more love possibly.

I felt the older brother was more developed and the younger was a bit lacking, I needed more from his sections of the book. Also didn’t like how the women were such a crutch for the men in this book like I get that’s how a lot of relationships end up going in reality but bleh.

If you like her other works it’s worth the read but if not this is not entirely worth it.

Starting this book I had high hopes, the first book was 5 stars for me and one I think about a good bit of time. Unfortunately I really didn’t care for the continuation of this story. I love the messages so much and believe they are ones to be shared but this plot did not hit for me. And I just couldn’t get into the story at all.

I was having a hard time deciding what to rate it but since I did spend a considerable amount of time thinking about dnfing I had to give it only one star.

If you enjoyed the first book maybe give this one a try maybe skip ><

A friend recommended this to me and oh man this was a fun read! It is definitely dated with the representation the characters have, one lady in all of the code breakers feels inaccurate since women have had a pretty good standing as code breakers since wwii.

Aside from that though it read like a movie and was pretty comical throughout. I would recommend this definitely for people who are interested in coding/ cyber related dramas.
