Great series!
4 stars
Book 4 was my least favorite, but the series wraps up beautifully. A rich and inspiring universe.

Hmm, so the characters have reconciled. I guess I get lost trying to understand her panic while it's happening. Not sure how she got to such a high powered job with this much fragility. She should have experienced dozens of these at lower stakes already in her career?

Hmm... Ya, chapters 8-10 are my least favorite part of this series. Like, OK, another protagonist went yet again into another they're going to kill you trap without any security. But then politics / leaving a job / getting fired are huge panic inducing traumas? Characters who have been in corporate environments for decades massively overreacting... I'm just not buying the plot.
The previous trauma? 100% legit, I understand that emotionally would hit like a truck. But I'm struggling to empathize with what might be unresolved PTSD because I don't have any outside perspective to tell me if just this character, or the author, is off the rails...

Chapter 5: Are you fucking kidding me? How many murder attempts does it take before any god damn protagonist will take a security guard with them when they go on their crazy ass spying missions?

deafferret finished reading You Knew the Price by Susan Kaye Quinn (Nothing is Promised, #2)
Solid! I'm a bit confused that Zuri thought she didn't need any security until, predictably, she totally did. Would have felt more realistic (to me) for her to travel with at least one bodyguard.
Zuri's character introduction and development is excellent. Another great read.
