This book was... fine? It hit some of the fun points of the series, but I really struggled to keep up with the two characters in terms of their decisions. This is not to say that Gray did a bad job necessarily of representing their choices as coming from who they were as characters, because I think she did a fine job of that, but I was rapidly frustrated by those choices.

The love story also bored the shit out of me, because under what circumstances do you fuck the Nazi. Almost none. Liesel from The Sound of Music knew that, and yet I had to read a sex scene in which the former Nazi fucked the current Nazi. Again, this could have to do with the current political climate in which we are living, where my tolerance for those working within fascist regimes is just at an all-time low, but I don't think I need stories creating sympathy for Nazis (or Nazi stand-ins) at this time in my life.
