It's picking up, now that we're headed to the exciting denouement.

Ludlum slammed the brakes on this book when he brought on the romance trope.
Very much skim-worthy for about 15% of the book so far.

Something about Ludlum's style misses for me, can't put my finger on it = had same problem with 1st Bourne, which I DNF'ed {perhaps wrong thing to do, because this one's coming into its own}.
Expository, drifts around too much, vague references to aspects that previously happened = gotta' keep up pretty good attention to details about things , as well as maintaining a good memory, or ya' miss stuff.
Holding interest.
