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.

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!
