My favorite was definitely the ex-Soviet pilot Nina Markova. I was really rooting for her relationship with Yelena Vetsina. Jordan McBride’s narrative was pretty good too, but I was most invested in Nina. Her and Ruth were adorable. Ruth is mainly a prop and I can see how that might be annoying since there aren’t any Jewish characters in this book about Nazi hunters post-Holocaust.
Like, maybe Jordan or Nina could’ve been Jewish. It would’ve been nice.
Ian Graham was a good character
Spoiler
and his brother Sebastian who died at the hands of a villain was so tragic. But also kind of annoying to have the only homosexual character die. Assuming Nina’s lover is also bisexualI also wish the lesbian relationship was a bit more developed.
The Huntress was a great villain. Lorelai Vogt/Annalise was really compelling and viewing her through Jordan’s eyes humanizes Die Jägerin and creates an interesting juxtaposition on how Ian describes her.

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!
