I really enjoy historical fiction, especially WWII novels, and I thought this one was pretty good.

It's the 4th book in a series, and I haven't read the other three so I can't compare them. (I normally don't read series novels, but here is a good place for the FTC disclosure to say that I won this book in the Firstreads Giveaway contest.)

There was nothing very surprising about the plot; I pretty much knew how things were going to play out for the main characters. What I loved about the book, though, was the vivid description of life for both ordinary citizens and military members in Berlin in the final days before it fell to the Red Army. All of this was fascinating, and some of it was frightening.

All in all, an interesting book that I'm glad to have read.
