The moment I read these words, I paused mid reading and thought to myself, wow, such strong words to describe such a strong lady. Something within me moved and I wished the same could be said about me one day. I also liked the fact that Laura is battling her own issues, clearly showing that even as the best versions of ourselves we have moments of weakness. I like the espionage plot which sounds to be full of twists. I look forward to reading this book.
Thanks for your comment, Faith.

Since you mention it doesn't hinder with your reading experience, I'd say she succeeded. Laura seems to be a potent leader and very intriguing character. Great review!
Thanks for commenting.

It is a C/T/M/H + historical fiction, which is too hard to ignore. Thanks for the nice review 👍👍

This certainly seems like an interesting read. I wouldn't mind some conspiracy and action. The fact that you award it 4 stars is something to reckon with. You surely did the review justice.
