From what I noticed in the book women are portrayed as strong and powerful spies which is good for the story.

Spys were shot without a second thought, they didn’t get the same protection that captive soldiers were given. To be a spy required a great deal of courage.

Yes! Another one who agrees that being a spy is not just a "job" and makes the women in the book powerful.Macanthony wrote: ↑26 Feb 2019, 09:46 From what I noticed in the book women are portrayed as strong and powerful spies which is good for the story.

The depth of the female characters was a little sketchy. I felt like I didn't really know much about Yvette and Fifi outside of their talking to the men. You didn't see much about how they acted or what made them interesting. They felt a bit cookie cutter to me.

The women were portrayed very well. They are shown as independent strong women. I specifically like yvette coz she is adventurous and daring. She chose to help get information which is quite risky and when she was mistakenly arrested she put a brave front and didn't give in easily.

I think the women in the book were brave, intelligent and strong . The story line was based during the war and their behaviors were probably based on historical fact and research by the author.

Thank you for seeing this despite what others say about them being demeaned into such roles. Glad to know there is someone who shares the same perspective as mine.Shilpa Paul wrote: ↑27 Feb 2019, 23:52 The women were portrayed very well. They are shown as independent strong women.

Although I am happy with what we got, I wish they could've had some major character development too.

I think they played their roles as spies as best as they could. They struck me as smart and fearless

I do understand your idea. In creating stories, minor roles remain minor to lift the protagonist.Laura Bach wrote: ↑01 Mar 2019, 05:51 Although I am happy with what we got, I wish they could've had some major character development too.

I felt your story, but minor role remains minor. They were just a part. Though some remains have abrupt or blur ending.

This book offered them as both smart enough and easily disposable to me. I have read spy books before where the woman spy was very cunning, vicious and used everything in her arsenal to get the job done.

Yeah, their so brave by doing such things. So tricky, scary and dangerous; wrong move leads to death.
