A review by thesandyreader
The Smugglers Son by Blake Dodge

4.0

So this is book 2 in her Emerald Network Trilogy, and my gosh it’s a good one. 

The lies and twists that are uncovered in this book… I need a chart. I love how layered the story is, with pieces all building up until the whole thing is shattered to reveal the truth under it all. 

Catherine in this one… well. Let’s just say I didn’t realize the depth to which her split goes and wow that was unexpected. And to find that it’s all a program and there’s multiple people like her… wild. 

The pace of this one felt somewhat slower, with more building and setup, but I didn’t mind it. It felt like we got more insight into the characters and their relationships which I think is going to really be key in the next one. 

And with how this one ended… very excited to see how it all comes to a head next book with the variety of players and all the truths that have come out so far.
