Found it extremely over-hyped. Enjoyable enough but plot was a bit forced, and characters were not given enough depth.

I thought it’s good but also over-hyped.

I’ve read it @Lorna. Found it interesting, sometimes a bit drawn out but I do like WW2 books so for me it was good. Not as good as The Nightingale though. Enjoy reading it.

Not the worst book I have read but totally overrated and hyped up too much. Could have been done in 200 less pages with a lot less rambling and boring narrative.
