The research is impeccable and the plot will absolutely captivate a lot of readers. It's high energy, realistic, and current.
So why am I not excited? I'll do my best to explain.
I'm an emotional reader. I need to feel invested in the characters. This story is highly plot-driven; the characters feel secondary and they're not well developed. I also had a problem with Angie's character. She feels too naive and impetuous for a journalist going into the turbulence of war-torn Africa.
Lots of characters come and go in this story right from the start, and many have narrating parts. Consequently, there are a whole lot of names and relationships to remember.
My inability to really connect with the characters made it a challenge for me to settle into this one. But the content is powerful and handled exceptionally well. If you enjoy plot-driven political fiction, definitely give this one a try.
