3.5

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.
