Beverlyd: This is the first book by Hannah Byron that I have read but it won't be the last. Her characters and the locations where this book take place are very good. After seeing a tv series about Norway during WWII, I became interested in this location. I hadn't read anything about Norway's invasion by Nazis until now. This is book is very good!

Sarah Heywood: I am very picky about what books I spend my time reading. More often than not, I will start one and delete it off my kindle before finishing because the writing isn't good or the story just doesn't capture my imagination. "The Norwegian Assassin" didn't fall into that category. I was mesmerized with the story from the very beginning! The author spins a masterful tale of a young woman poised to enter the safe, grand life her parents have planned for her - at the same time the events of WWII in Europe begin to swirl. Esther Weiss' life transforms from debutante to warrior as she fights for freedom for her family and her adopted country. I could NOT put this book down and it has been a long, long time since that happened. I felt educated after reading this book, too, because I did not know anything about Norway's contribution to the war efforts. Now I need to go download the others in this series! You will feel as though you have just eaten a very full, satisfying meal after reading this story.

Amazon Customer: I could not stop reading this book. It was an eye opener as to how much Norway and its people suffered under the Nazis.

Kathleen Isaac: Whether the goal was to introduce us to Norway's history in WWII or its Resistance, this was superbly done. The changes in the country, the culture, the people as the tyranny of the Nazi's increase. It brings home the fighting spirit necessary to fight that is experienced as the loss of people and freedoms.
Even at the end of WWII, Norway was still captive, a demonstration of how far away they were geographically.

che-che: Great read! A book full of suspense and action. This book is about a Jewish girl who could easily switch from a society girl to being a topnotch commando in the Norwegian resistance movement. Was also great to read about what happened to norway during the second WW and how the resistance group participated in the war. . A book worth reading
