TL;DR
This is the peak of the trilogy, if you liked the first one you need to read this. If you didn't like the first one just know this improves on everything, the action, the story, the characters... Okay minus the main villain, Carlos the Jackal isn't here and it's a shame but that's the only bad thing about this book.
My Scoring System
I have five things I look for in a book, if the book checks all five it's a 5/5 stars book, if it checks none it's a 1/5 stars and everything else is a combination:
✓ - Main Story: The Main main story I didn't care about but the one related to Jason and Marie I did, the government did him dirty and it was great to see how Jason does what he does against the odds.
✓ - Side Stories (if it applies): There are quite a few side stories going on at the same time, at first I thought I wasn't going to enjoy them I only care about Jason Bourne but when we're with Alex or Marie they were really interesting. I was surprised by the one with Marie to be honest. She's amazing.
✓ - Characters: Again like the first book we get a great set of characters and some returning one which are my favorites. Echo was the standout for me and what happens to him made me sad. Lin Wenzu was a badass, too bad he was just gone towards the end and then never referenced again in the next book, what a total waste.
✓ - Setting/Ambiance: We're on the east side of the globe now in oriental China, this is Jason Bourne's home territory. The jungles are his playground.
✓ - Ending: A good ending just like the first one, this one doesn't leave stuff hanging like the first one with the Jackal. Here the main conflict gets resolved by the end.
Extensive Review
This took everything from the first book and cranked it up to the maximum. In the first book Jason does the things he does based on instincts but here he's pretty much remembered who he was and he's at his peak. This is Jason Bourne the legendary Delta One and you really get to see him. The inner monologues of Jason Bourne conflicting with David Webb and how he takes over was really interesting to read.
Echo was a great addition and seeing him with Jason was great.
There's not much more to say, I don't see how you wouldn't like this book if you enjoyed the first one. I think you can read this without even having read the first one because every time something is mentioned from the first book there's a short context explanation of it. I'm assuming it's for the people who didn't read the first book.
