The Huntress by Kate Quinn
4.0
slow-paced

 BEST ON AUDIO.

This was a hefty book y’all. And one I think is best read on audio because I feel like it helped the pacing a lot more. Some of the middle gets bogged down in sub plots that took awhile to come back around to where this story was always heading towards.

As a surprise to me, this had a great diverse cast! I loved seeing the development of all the relationships and the heartache and trials that come with a wartime romance. I felt all the things and yet was satisfied where the conclusions led to.

I thought the overall intrigue and premise was interesting and I liked much of the buildup and mystery surrounding the Huntress. It had this aura of danger and awareness and those reveals towards the end were fantastic.

Overall audience notes:
- Historical Fiction + Romance
- Language: moderate
- Romance: fade to black/closed door
- Violence: high
- Trigger/Content Warnings: antisemitism, racism, threats of sexual assault, murder, bombings, war themes
