I really didn't like this one for the first 100 pages or so. The last book left off on a cliffhanger for Rolf and Marie and this book focused on different characters. It was hard for me to care about them and their storyline bored me at first. I was severely tempted to skip to the Rolf and Marie parts. Fortunately, with time, I was able to care about the other characters and the book included more of Rolf and Marie. I also would have appreciated more psychological depth. I found it weird that the reader doesn't learn anything about the year that Rolf spent in a concentration camp and the effects that experience surely had on him. I was disappointed that part of his life was completely skipped over.Despite all of this, I enjoyed the book- especially the end. It's a quick and easy read. I look forward to seeing how everything wraps up in the last book. This is the follow-up to Traitor, and I thought it was just as good. For one thing, it discussed post-war Germany and the beginnings of the Cold War, which is a time period I really am not very familiar with at all. The book follows up with some of the characters from the first one and introduces some new ones, but they all remained compelling and 'real' to me. A review I read of Grey's books pointed out that they may look like standard LDS romances or thrillers, but the writing is much more polished and mature than a lot of what is out on the market; I agree.
What do You think about Tribunal (2009)?
A little slower pace than Traitor, but still a fun book to read.
