There's something about when an author does the damn research to get the terms and details right that raises a book from "Good" to "Amazing". It's the little details, both in voice and narrative, that really immerse you. (Chevalier, you made me wiki "Mazda lights"!) that regard, I absolutely adored this book.

Plotwise, It'd probably give it closer to a 4, in that the plot was fairly predictable for a romance. That said? It was well-executed, and even though I knew there was a turn coming up, I was looking forward to see what the turn was. The progression of the characters toward each other felt natural, and the characters themselves were distinct and interesting but not so unique as to be the One Special Character with All The Traits (a problem with small ensembles occasionally).

One thing about the ending - I adore that it's not a perfect Happily Ever After where Nothing Hurts. There is one notable Unhappy that just adds to the realism. That Chevalier included that detail, again, makes the story that much more realistic.

In sum? Definitely recommended!

4.5 stars. Sometimes grizzly, stark reality of war. Truly gripping piece of m/m romance.

Finding this just too hard to finish at the moment. Not keen on the pacing or the historical detailing, feels more modern. Also finding it difficult to connect with the characters and feel any empathy. :( Might have to revisit it at a later date.
