The Traitor by V.S. Alexander

5.0

This is the second book by Alexander that I’ve read this year and I loved it. Alexander does a phenomenal job creating characters that you cheer on and truly care about. I often find myself tired of female leads but in this book, as with his book The Taster, Alexander does a phenomenal job writing a character that is relatable, empathetic, and most importantly not some pitiful damsel in distress. I love reading World War II books but a majority of them are written from the point of view of allied forces or resistance workers outside of Germany. It was fascinating to read a book about resistance fighters within the Reich. The story has a long and sweeping timeline. I appreciate that Alexander used difficult details but was not gory.
