One one star, one two stars, one three stars, one four stars. I ended up giving this two out of five stars.Īs you can tell, my ratings were all over the place with Danielle Steel’s books. I would understand if this was a first draft, but not a final, published work. It was like Steel had a great idea for a story and just regurgitated it as a summarized outline. I wanted to get into the characters and the spy missions, but everything is brushed over with shallow summaries. I liked the plot, but since the story covers like sixty years and is only 288 pages, the entire story feels summed up and is about 80% telling not showing (and I’m also person who complains about too much flowery language usually, so this is saying a lot). It follows a young English woman who works as a spy for over thirty years, during WWII and after. I mostly read this book because of the gorgeous cover. At this point I went back and finished Remembrance, spurred on because of my mostly enjoyment of the two previous books and then I read the most recent release of these four, Spy, published in 2019.
