I love Kate Quinn's storytelling. It wasn't as good as The Rose Code for me, because I find code-breaking to be more interesting than being a sniper. However, the history was new to me and I always enjoy that. The best parts of the book for me were the parts that were fiction (the author tells you at the end which parts are which.) I would recommend this for anyone who likes her books or has an interest in the Russian side of WWII.
