I really did like this book overall, but the pacing was just something I needed to be in the right mindset for. What I did love was that this showed a very different side of WWII and espionage than is usually featured in English books. This had deep specificity in the culture of the characters, and it was fascinating and a well-appreciated perspective shift in the typical spy genre. Maintaining momentum was my only problem with this book.
