![]() ![]() ![]() Join the Book Club Chat Newsletter Quinn’s prior novel, The Alice Network, is one of my favorite historical fiction novel I’ve read (check out my review and discussion questions ). Packed with unexpected twists and turns, this one is well worth your time. There are the scheduled betrayals, plus the customary reluctant closeness between Kate and Ani. The Huntress by Kate Quinn is an action-packed novel about finding one’s inner courage. There’s a template to be followed and “ Kate” does so, like clockwork. Months later, Kate is slipped a slow-acting poison that gives her about 24 hours to kill the folks who targeted her.ĭon’t ask why they slipped the Deadliest Woman Alive a slow-acting poison, or if that were their thing, why they didn’t lock themselves down for a night while she kicked the bucket. Now you know most of the story.Īs the titular killer stationed in Japan, Mary Elizabeth Winstead kicks ass on an order of magnitude above her work as Huntress in the underrated “ Birds of Prey” (heaven forbid the DCEU make an actually fun movie - and how can audiences not support “ The Suicide Squad”? - but I digress).Įasygoin’ Kate has a cute interaction with fatherly handler Varrick ( Woody Harrelson) before executing a messy hit that splatters young Ani (Miku Martineau) with bits of Ani’s dad. “Kate” is a revenge movie with a dying assassin as its lead. ![]()
