Really well written, so I think it's a contender. That being said, the characters were so unlikeable(understandably unlikeable), that I spent the first half of the book wishing that one of them would go ahead and kill the other and be done with it.
Glad to see such great reviews! I haven't gotten to this one yet but I'm excited to have the author at our November Teen Book Brunch.
Extremely well-written and well-researched. I had a similar experience: hated many of the characters (which means they felt real), then got swept away into this dark and troubled period in history. Not a "light" read.
Sat down this afternoon and read over half of the book in one sitting. Very engaging, and yes - some of the characters are unlikeable. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of it in short order.
