A review by alexandrabree
Hammer of God by Greig Beck
2.0
Mossad spy Adira Senesh is back.
I think a large portion of why I don't love this book is how irritating I am starting to find Adira. She has never been my favorite character in the series, and I teeter-totter between not caring if she is there and being annoyed at how she interacts with the plot.
Part of this could very well be how saturated the media and conversation are at this moment with Israel / Middle East discussion, and while Beck is very nuanced, measured, and fair in dishing out opinion and senario... I am just sick of the whole deal.
Adding to my bad attitude (lol) is that I am just not a huge fan of point five books of any kind. It is very rare for me to find a middle book that I am drawn into. Prequels and epilogues (while not always my favorite) are more tolerable to my sensibilities. Because I am difficult to please..
Also, HUGE shout out to his audiobook production company and his reader 10/10 on not adding a bunch of background music and nonsense alongside an epic job narrating.
