Prisoner of Night and Fog
by Anne Blankman
Wow...
Elizabeth Wein was the reason I read PoNaF. I’m going to say nothing more because that would spoil Code Name Verity but I will now read any book that Elizabeth Wein blurbs (Front Lines by Michael Grant) because she has great taste in historical fiction.
It was the wierdest thing. Reading about Hitler being caring towards her and calling her his “little sunshine” and his “favorite child”. It was so disconcerting because the Hitler we all learned about was a monster. Maybe he got worse as time wore on because it’s only 1932 but it was so wierd. As the novel went on and Gretchen started realizing that he wanted to kill all of the Jews we started seeing the Hitler that we all learned about, and a side of him that we didn’t.
One of my favorite things about this book was that it was really thought provoking. There is of course the mystery of her Dad’s death but there is also Hitler and this novel brings into question things like his mental health and the mental stability of those around him as well as if a certain death was really a suicide or not. I also really like how the romance wasn’t a prominent storyline and it took a back seat to the action. We all know I don’t particularly like romance so that was definitly a plus.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Amazing! Go read it!
