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.
