This was a long and slow one. It took 10 hours of the 19 hours audiobook to get good. Ultimately a compelling ending but wow was it a lot to get there.

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.

This is THE best book I've read in a long time! It is so immersive, and I loved all of the characters. This was such an enjoyable read as it is so well-written, the pacing is excellent, and the story is so interesting. Definitely recommend!
