Mandarin Plaid by S.J. Rozan

3.0

This book made me realize something about myself: I have very little patience for stubbornness as a character flaw in protagonists. It drives me crazy. Is it because I myself am stubborn, and don't like looking in a mirror? Or is it because it's a lazy plot device ("JUST CALL YOUR BROTHER WHO HAS IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOU, STOP BEING SO STUBBORN")? Either way, it bothers me. (My primary criticism of The Hunger Games is the same!)

Still, overall enjoyable, and I'm definitely on board for the series.
