I like the book! It has a bit too much detail into side characters, that makes them feel like they are going to be very important to the story, only to never be mentioned again after 1-2 pages. Apart from this, the books is great. It goes in detail about the mind, discovery etc. of gordievsky and seems well written. Good read 😄

There’s a lack of dialogues which I dont like. It is filled with manyyy locations and people, but is decently easy to keep track of them. It is not a page turner or thriller, but is interesting enough to make you want to keep going.
