The pacing is deliberate yet propelling, allowing each twist to land with maximum impact. Despite its political themes, Wright keeps a human touch through poignant personal stories that make the conflict more relatable. However, some may find the narrative occasionally verbose, bogging down slightly in detailed exposition.
