I must admit I found I was forcing myself to finish this book. As someone who is invested in this period of history, I found there was no substance to the book. I disliked the main character, and felt that Hanna wasn’t written as in-depth as I would like. The story picked up for me in the last few chapters, but again, I felt the ending was rushed. Maybe I am missing the point of the book?
