So I loved The Alice Network, but I couldn’t get into this one nor The Rose Code. The story never grabbed me, and I read well into 200 pages. I finally gave up on it and did not finish it.

Did not like this one as much as other Kate Quinn novels. It contains elements that would be offensive to some readers, but I can't tell you what they are without being censored.

"You can't go wrong with Kate Quinn. Her historical novels about amazing real women are all just awesome. This one is about the Night Witches, who I'd never heard of, and who are seriously cool." - Karen M.

Being a fan of World War II fiction and nonfiction, this was hands down the best piece of fiction about the war and it's aftermath that I've ever read. Kate Quinn has even taken great care to preserve a good number of historical accuracies…

This book is one of my Bookclub faves. Turned me into a Kate Quinn fan and I went on to read the Alice Network shortly after finishing this one. Yank.

This is my favorite Kate Quinn book - I've read it more than once, and with my TBR list, that's saying something! The historical element is fantastic - and opens the door to the roles that women played in WWII and the years following. The…

Another winner from historical author Kate Quinn, who crafts mystery novels from WWII events. In this book Quinn combines the work of post-war Nazi hunters with the true story of the Night Witches- the Russian all-women pilot group that…

I started with the Alice Network, had to continue with this author, on to “The Huntress” Introduced me to allies I didn’t know. Stalin? Mention of the real night witches was cool, never heard of them. The Nina character was wild. Tough…

For my taste and judgement, "The Huntress" tops out of 5 Stars and exceeds the attraction of "The Alice Network" (which I enjoyed and is highly rated). Great beginning, great characters and character development, great pacing and great…

The only thing wrong with this story was having to wait for the inevitable conclusion after being alluded to in the first few chapters. At the same time, I didn't want to miss a second of the three riveting narratives as they eventually…

I mostly liked it but, I didn’t like some parts of it. I found Nina’s parts too long. I found myself skimming over a lot of her chapters. Things really picked up in the latter half and the climax was enthralling. The author includes…

A group of three people - Nina, Ian, and Tony - are looking for a Nazi war criminal called "die Jägerin," who during the war killed among others Ian's brother, the only witness being Nina, a fearless Soviet pilot. Some parts of the book…

Absolutely amazing. I couldn’t put it down! Great story telling, rich characters and a time in history (just after WWII) that typically gets overlooked. Such an amazing novel. If you love strong female characters, a tale that keeps you…

This is my second Kate Quinn book and I really enjoyed it! As per her writing style, we follow the story from three different perspectives, all from different periods of time until as the story goes on they are bound tighter and tighter…

Just not for me. Found it hard to keep names and characters straight.

This WWII era novel of the search for a war criminal has an interesting combination of the major powers of the war represented - a Russian pilot, a British soldier, and an American of Polish ancestry. The characters are interesting - I…

I read constantly but Kate Quinn’s Huntress is the best book I’ve read in a very long time. She cleverly and charmingly(?) enfolds historical characters and facts into the most intriguing fictional account. Hard to put this book down…

WWII historical fiction that shines a light on The Night Witches, an all-female team of Soviet bombers who took on the invading Germans and fought them with every breath. Quinn is a master of complex stories with multiple perspectives and…

The first few chapters I was not sure how I felt about it, but it ended up being a great book! I enjoy reading World War 2 books but not one where it was set just after the war. Three great characters to follow along, you know they will be…
