Palace of Treason by Jason Matthews is the 2nd book in the Red Sparrow trilogy. Dominika Egorova is one of the toughest characters you will ever read. JL did a nice job with the character in the movie, but there are many more layers here. And her ability to see colors is a great advantage in the books. Lots of tension here - never know if this is the moment Dominika is found out. Matthews puts some real idiots in charge of important places - Characters that make you scream “You idiot” The author gets carried away with a couple of things here. Each chapter ends with a recipe of food eaten in that chapter. In the first book it was interesting and novel, but here it seems forced - “we have to add some food moments so we can have our recipe” Didn’t really add to the story 🤷🏼♂️ And so much sexy time 🤦🏼♂️ Some crazy descriptions there 😳 Overall, an excellent story from Matthews. #palaceoftreason #jasonmatthews #redsparrow #espionagenovel #bookstagram #bookshelves #bookswithcharacter #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookreview #hardcover #bookcollector #bookaddict #bookhaul #bookspines #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #ciathriller #thriller https://www.instagram.com/p/B5If5EEADkE/?igshid=1160bwm0py3li
