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!

I wanted to love this, but I am not sure this was the right book at the right time. I definitely enjoyed Kate Quinn’s other books more. This one I had a harder time following the different characters and their point of views and connections to each other. The audiobook narration was of good quality and did not effect the rating of this book.

I love Kate Quinn. She is an auto-buy author of mine whenever a new World War story is told. I don’t know that The Huntress needed so many perspectives or so much time jumping. But the story is fun. It is always exciting to read about history through the lens of feminism. I also appreciate Quinn’s acknowledgement of queer identities throughout history, it can’t be true unless everyone is included.

4.75

I really really enjoyed this book, though I will say not as much as I enjoyed The Alice Network. There wasn't as much of a twist in this book as there was in that one. However, overall this book is really good, so it's more like 4.5 stars. I do wish there was a little more Jordan and Tony story line at the end
