Atomic Blonde: The Coldest City

Like most other folks, I did in fact read this because of the movie. I won't spill a lot of ink that hasn't already been spilled, but the art style is SO strong, so committed to the noir vibes- and like most others, I did personally find it a fault about halfway through. Without the context of the movie and some rereading, some of the men in this book blend into each other in these harsh shadows and ambiguous speech bubbles. 
Still, this is still charming. I just found it a bit tame, and I too was disappointed by the lack of strength in Lorraine.  I won't sit here and act like I was blown away by Perceval's misogyny- I didn't find it particularly interesting, though it made sense. I was surprised to see Lorraine bailed out so often by the men around her- I feel the movie did a better job of actually making her tough as nails. Lasalle being a firmly planted spy and constantly bailing her out of relatively simple situations with other authoritative men skeeved me out.
This was a fun little romp, but to be honest, the fight choreo of the movie is so stylish. Might rewatch the movie again instead of reading the sequel.
