I love WWII centred historical fiction. All the stories to be told, it is fascinating. This one was a new angle for me. I thought it sounded really interesting.

Unfortunately it just was very meh. I’m not sure if it was the actual writing or the audio but if it had been a physical copy I would have DNF it early.

The characters were very one dimensional spinal and I didn’t feel a connection to a single one of them. I didn’t believe their connections with each other either

I felt the world building was nearly non existent and could not picture much of the locations.

The issues touched on such as racism, nationalism, sexism and class had so much potential and I just didn’t care much to find out what was going on in these people’s lives and missed all of their struggles entirely.

This book was sadly very much not for me.
