See How They Run by Ally Carter is the perfect sequel to All Fall Down! It is very fast-paced and suspenseful, even more so than the first book, and combines mystery with politics. A strong and likeable main character makes this book even more enjoyable. I really recommend this series to everyone!

Book Review: See How They RUn by Ally Carter
❀ Very Fast-Paced
See How They Run is a super fast-paced novel. And I really mean it when I say fast-paced. This book gives little time for the reader to process all the events before diving into another plot twist. I honestly read this book in just one sitting because I couldn’t find the right spot to put it down. This is such a quick action-packed read that is sure to blow the reader’s mind.
❀ A Mix of Mystery/Thriller and Politics
Ally Carter has crated See How They Run using an interesting mix of genres. It combines mystery/thriller and politics. I actually haven’t read too many books about politics, so this book was very different for me. What I really enjoyed in See How They Run were the embassies. The main character in this series lives in an embassy row with her dad, the US Ambassador. Living next door to Grace is the German Ambassador. There are so many puns about causing international accidents, since two very different countries are two feet away from each other, which I found to be pretty clever.
❀ Grace is a Great Character
I absolutely loved the character of Grace in See How They Run. I felt really empathy towards her because she goes through so much in the book. There are so many tragedies and occurrences that she has to endure. Grace also suffers with PTSD, which makes it even harder to act like a “normal person.” Grace is so strong and remains strong, so you can’t help but love her.
❀ Highly Recommend
See How They Run by Ally Carter is a fast-paced read with a unique combination of genres. There is a brave and lovable main character who adds so much drama and suspense to the novel. If you have not yet read the first book in the Embassy Row series, All Fall Down, I definitely recommend that you do so, since these books are absolutely incredible.

I literally cannot wait for this book!! I love Ally Carter. I’m glad you liked it! It’s good to know I wont be disappointed lol
So happy you enjoyed See How They Run! And I think you’re right – it’s easy to cause international incidents, when you live right next door to each other. Kind of makes you wonder how they function IRL, right? 🙂
So true! 😂
I love your review! Can’t wait to read this book!
I hope that you love it, too!
Thanks!
I have not read the other book but it sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I have not read the other yet but it sounds interesting.
Never heard of it, but sounds interesting!
I haven’t read they first book in this series yet. I wasn’t huge on stories that have a lot of politics in the background before this year, but after reading several I started to enjoy them. That makes this sound much more intriguing to me, so I might just have to check it out!
I don’t usually enjoy political books, either. If you do pick this series up someday, I hope that you enjoy it! 🙂
Ally Carter is one of my favourite authors and I cannot wait to read this one! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
1. I’m really jealous you got to read an ARC
2. I loved the first one and you’re just making me want to read this one even more.
I hope that you get the chance to read it soon! I am certain that you will enjoy it as much as the first!
I am so jealous of all American’s right now! We don’t get this book until the middle of January, and I am desperate to get my hands on it – even more so now that I’ve read your fab review! I hope I love it as much as you did, and I feel like I’ll probably read it in one session too, in between my exams in January 😉
Great review!
