Well... that's one way the show the toll of war. And I believe it's true to life. That's well written pain. I'm glad Kate didn't dwell on it there would have been little time for that.

Oh and Mila's husband is damn cockroach. Can you please just be ended already. It would be safer for tweenage girls anyway.

I really like Mila. I adore Kostia. We've just met Alexei, a friend of Kostia and the love interest as the book goes.
This book seemingly has such a short time frame, about 18 months.

Lyudmila Pavlichenko was a scary woman. But in In The Diamond eye she is just Mila, an occasionally amusing, mother of one just doing what she needs to do in the face of the Germans. And proving her idiotic tosser of an ex wrong.
I like Kate Quinn's take on Eleanor Roosevelt. She feels right. So does the mercenary.
