This is about WWII and Nazis, so it contains discussion of the Holocost and related issues.

KATE QUINN NEVER MISSES
This is my favourite of her novels so far. What a story! I don't usually pick up such long audiobooks but this was 100% worth it, I'm so glad my friend recommended it. I couldn't stop listening.. it's crazy to think about all the research that went into this novel. I loved the way the characters interact, how interconnected they are, and the sense of dread employed by Quinn to keep the readers on the edge of our seats. Truly, it was masterfully done. I will be reading more of her stuff!! Amazing work!

Kate Quinn is an absolutely masterful storyteller. They way she weaves together multiple POVs and storylines and has them all come together in the end is just so we'll done and everything comes together seamlessly at the end.

The cast of characters she brought together was amazing. They each were such strong characters and had incredible development. I love how Quinn starts with a group of people who are so different and don't make sense and by the end of it all they've made their own family together.

As far as historical fiction goes, WWII has been covered about a million times. I liked that this one explored sides of it that I'd never really read about before: the night witches and tracking down war criminals after the fact. These plots were so intriguing and made you want to keep reading to find out what was going on.

This is only my second Kate Quinn book, but I'm thoroughly convinced she can do no wrong. If you love historical fiction you've got to pick up one of her books!
