Not a bad book by any means, it just didn't engage me enough to praise it. The protagonist is somewhat dull and immature, and the plot is thin. Some good ideas are here, but as a whole, it just doesn't work that well.

At first I was hooked by the blurb a war veteran in espionage world, but then after reading this book I realized this is not for me.

The main character is somewhat contradictive a bad ass heroine but with fragility that doesnt add up. It irked me, because the characterization is not as strong as I expect to be.

I'm struggling to finish this because I can't connect with the character. However thank you netgalley for providing the arc.

From the very beginning, the reader knows we are dealing with an exceptionally monstrous human being--a sociopath whose hubris knows no bounds. Thankfully, the author provides us also with a remarkably strong female protagonist. Such an individual is required if anybody can stop this "Mad Scientist." Knowing this is set in the near future increases the tension and keeps the suspense ratcheted up.

The most popular and decorated soldier from the global terrorist war is bored in peace. The military will not send her out on any more missions. I liked the book and the plot.
