A solid three and a half stars. Good book, and a really big leap for me into a new genre. I enjoyed the story, but found it hard to follow at times. I appreciate the author’s attention to historical detail. Also, I SO appreciated the author adding a bit to the end to really tie the whole story up nicely. 

I will note that it was far more challenging to read than I expected. War is dark and the effect is has is seen clearly on every page of this book.

Saskia Maarleveld's narration made me finish the audiobook, she is so talented with all the different accents!! <3 I wish the story had contained more historical elements (=facts about the world wars, as I'm such a war nerd myself). This is rare for me to say, but I enjoyed the romance between Charlie and Finn more than anything else in the story (damn does my heart melt just thinking about them). Overall the book was a nice experience of travelling through time, though it also felt a bit dragging at times — I wouldn't have minded if it had been shorter.

Quinn’s use of suspense is excellent in this book. By alternating between the past and the present in the context of the story, she keeps the reader turning the pages to see what will happen next. The narrative voice is strong, and the parallels drawn between the two main characters are well executed. She shows the realities of war, espionage, and sexism in a clear light with an exciting and adventurous spirit.
