Full disclosure- I know the author through writing group.
This one is hard to review because somehow I liked the series more than I liked the first book. Don’t get me wrong, the dilemma of the MC caught my interest. And I like the main plot - there is a virus that has killed a significant amount of the human population, and is especially deadly to white people, and Chinese researchers are working in a cure to save everyone. Because, guess what? We’re all in this together. (Pretty timely!)
I’m not sure I can put a point on what I didn’t like. Maybe it’s just that it took Lin most if the book to fully become heroic? Even though I knew it was a series, I found the ending to be abrupt.
Because the premise is so interesting and all the characters were well developed, I did like this book and went on to finish the trilogy.
