I have yet to meet a Kate Quinn book that I haven't loved. Despite the fact that there is a LOT of WWII historical fiction out there, she always manages to write something unique and magnificent. The Huntress is no different. It hooked me from page one and, though I more or less understood where the ending would take me, I couldn't put it down.

I always learn something new in Quinn's books. In this case, it was about the Nachthexen (the Night Witches), and I loved every minute of it. Strong female protagonists are her strength and she always gets me wound up in their pasts and their futures. I am solidly rooting for her protagonists from the very beginning.

Like her other novels, the characters in The Huntress are rich and vibrant, with distinct personalities. The plot is done from multiple POVs and weaves the stories together incredibly well. There is even a cameo from one of her other books that put quite a big smile on my face.

This book does give more of a post-WWII focus than her other books, which was something interesting and gave something extra to the read. It was a nice commentary on how quickly the world can move on from an atrocity and try to forget what happened instead of trying to make full reparations for evil. I feel like there's always a good message in her books, and this one stuck in my craw a bit as I could definitely see this lesson applying to quite a few modern situations.

It is no surprise that I'm giving this book 5-stars. It's an intriguing read that kept me wanting more and that I devoured over the course of just a couple of days. Will I read anything that Kate Quinn writes as soon as I can get my greedy little hands on it? Yes. Yes I will.
