While this book didn't leave as strong an impression as The Huntress, I still found it quite enjoyable. It delves into the world of female spies, highlighting how their work differed from that of their male counterparts. It wasn't as glamorous as spy movies often portray, but it was no less dangerous. I truly admired the courage these women displayed.
What I appreciated most was the extensive research the author conducted to keep the story as true to historical events as possible. It was a delight to discover that the heroines I had grown to care for were real people who accomplished incredible achievements in real life. While some characters are fictional, I was glad to see the author stayed true to the facts whenever possible.
Unfortunately, this commitment to accuracy also meant the book depicted many atrocities, which were horrifying to read about. However, it also provided an opportunity to learn about smaller towns and villages I hadn't known before.
Overall, I enjoyed this novel, even though I didn't always agree with the characters' decisions.
