I love WWII era books so I was excited to read this new Sundin.
Unfortunately the first half moved super slow for me. I got really bogged down by all the details and so many events and characters.
But once the tension picked up and the adventure started I got more into the story and more invested in the characters.
I loved all the linguistic parts of the book. I was intrigued with how he trained people to speak without accents. As a language teacher I really related to him. I also really enjoyed how Peter pursued Evelynin his own way.
Evelyn really annoyed me in the first half, but as I got to know her and some of her background I liked her more. I did relate to her independent side
There were a couple really good twists in this book that I wasn't expecting.
Overall it was a good read once I got into the story.
I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.
