Red Sparrow

Red Sparrow ok while I was trying to figure out which country to tag for the novel, I have found out that the writer is an ex CIA operator. Well I'm sure there were lots of exciting things happened to him but his style of storytelling was just not for me. I either want to be wowed by the prose (Le Carré) or give the old brain a rest while running on the excitement (I'm Pilgrim). This one is neither and there is something off with the rythm of the story.
