A suspense filled action-spy novel Tales of MI7: The Girl From Kandahar is far from my usual choice of leisure reading; however the first few pages of this particular book had me hooked and I couldn’t help but read on.What impressed me the most about Tales of MI7 was the author, J. J. Ward’s, ability to weave intriguing and mysterious things into almost every page of the book; his writing abilities are such that as you read the characters develop along with the stories, constantly raising questions and tempting audiences to read on.Despite my personal disinterest in spy-esque stories I honestly felt that Tales from MI7 falls into the better class of such novels; the suspense is well timed and doled out in controlled but exciting bursts, whilst the themes of the narrative seem to right on the button for today’s current socio-political sore points. All in all I found it a surprisingly enjoyable read.
