Review of 'Velvet' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Mmmm. Well if you've read vol 1-2 you should read 3. But the ending isn't particularly novel, just some "of course your plan was obvious when you did X" type narration in a confrontation. The "smart suit" has gadget really has been literally stretched at this point, it's practically as powerful as an Iron Man suit.

But it's still an easy read, and any criticisms could be extended to a lot of espionage thrillers. So, it's a great homage, but it's not Criminal. I'm sure I'll enjoy it more on a re-read.
