Book Review: Spymasters


Review:  #398
Title:  Spymasters
Series:  The 39 Clues:  The Cahill Files - 2nd book
Author:  Clifford Riley
Read Before:  no
My Comments:  A collection of three short stories that focuses upon events involving various Cahill ancestors.  As the whole Vesper subplot is out, they feature prominently in these stories.  For the most part, the stories are good, intense and interesting.  However, these kinds of stories have been overdone in previous The 39 Clues books so that they feel very familiar.  The first one is very typical in that you roll your eyes at how amazing and far reaching the Cahill family is, how practically everyone is a Cahill.  The second and third story is more interesting, although the plot points are very easy to decipher.  Especially in the third story, you would instantly know who the antagonist is simply because this plot style has been done many times already.
Rating:  6/10
