Why did it have to change perspective every two pages? Did that not bother anyone else? I was incapable of getting into the story because ever page and a half it just jumped to another character, another situation. I felt like I was getting whiplash and there was no flow. Alfred was such a pointless character as well. It felt like he existed because there needed to be more historical context and that was the easiest way for the author to add it, but all his sections were just the same repetitive "I'm a hero go Germany, but I'm actually a lying coward." It didn't add anything to the story. I also wasn't the biggest fan of the writing style, which just seemed like it was doing a lot of telling and repeating the same information in case we forgot it after the first eight times.

Overall, don't get the hype. Really disappointed because it's such an interesting topic, but I can't understand what people see in this at all.
