* I listened to the audiobook, any mis-spellings are because of that*
Sigh. Sequels are always disappointing.
The premise of this book is that now, Yael must deal with the aftermath of her attempted murder of Hitler, and the political effect that had.
Things I liked about the book:
-Getting to know Luca's character better
-Continuing Yael's story
-Getting a glimpse of the resistance
Things I disliked:
-The muddied plotline; it didn't really feel like they were working towards a singular goal throughout the book, as they had been in the first, and thus it detracted from the reading experience
-Every single chapter Felix narrated (and his character arc)
-How some characters just came and went through the book as though they would be important, but then they weren't

This book does a brilliant job of painting the picture of who Yael is. As the book advances, you just feel the burden she carries, her sadness and loneliness. But above all, it shows that she can still smile and love after the horrors and losses.
What I did not like was how the author dealt with the ending. Not plot-wise, but what happened to the characters. I don't agree with Henryka's death, and much less with Luka's. Yael had already lost so, so much and I expected that the author would grant her the chance to find peace with this newfound family. In my heart, they're alive and they get together for dinners.
Just fantastic.
