Brought me to tears. The author was able to capture a father's love inside a page, and did it beautifully. He described everybody's mindset and thought process amazingly and made every character able to relate or empathise with easy. The ending shook me to my core.

I feel as though Feliks assassination was all for nothing as Russia still went to war, and even if Feliks did escape, Churchill would have still classified Aleks death as an accident, not an assassinated. Just a small plot hole.

Other than that, this book has some pretty old English words, so it's not really suitable for people who have English as their second language. It's not the type of book you can read in one sitting, as it is pretty hard to understand and interpret. In conclusion, this book is a classic and I definitely recommend you read it.
