Dörtlünün En Önemli Durağı

While Justine Balthazar was written from Darley's perspective and voice, whose name we learned later; Mountolive is written from the perspective of the ambassador with the same name as the title of the book. It is a very important threshold to look at events from a different perspective and objectively. Similar to what the author said, the third book of the series is the most important pillar that holds the series together.
As a general overview and evaluation of the series; The author writes fiction appropriate to the main characters. Justine, more excited/passionate; woven with love and Alexandria; Balthazar was more rational and philosophical. Mountolive, on the other hand, has diplomatic relations and criticism worthy of an ambassador. I'm so excited for Clea.
If I evaluate the book specifically, there are strong diplomatic criticisms in the third book. There are really strong and appropriate criticisms about the British. The author was born in India and later lives in England. I really liked your objective and harsh criticism. It really highlights the oppression and abuse placed on Muslims in particular.
While we learn the background of the secret affairs, we also witness the collapse of a family. And little by little we question whether the situations Darley presents to us are contradictions or true. Even though ideas were found on common ground, the behind-the-scenes of some situations surprised me.
But I think the book I paused most in the series is Mountolive. Political relations bored me quite a lot. Although there are moments where excitement is high, the book is generally static. Since it unites relationships, I did not focus too much on this issue and read it as much as I could, adapting to the book. In my opinion, the difficult threshold of the book and the series is Mountolive. Once you get over that static pace, everything moves quickly and curiously. I think those who love history and political events can read this section with excitement. Just as the concrete of the building was solid, the parts that seemed boring to me were an important basis for important diplomatic relations that took place behind fiction - and to some extent modern love.
But…
Justine is my favorite of the series... I'm more excited for Clea. I think I will like books written from a female perspective more, and I do love them in this quartet.
Last stop is Clea.
