A review by hookreads
The Song Of An Innocent Bystander by Ian Bone

4.0

I read this first when I was in high school and when I saw it on the shelves at work I remembered having really liked it, but not what happened or what I like about it. Not everything worked for me - the flashbacks to Frieda aged x didn't seem to match tone for me and took away from the urgency of the siege flashbacks as well as Frieda's current experiences, the William reveal seemed obvious (maybe it was meant to be, or maybe this is a YA thing where its a bit more on the nose?) and the end "resolution" just seemed like a bit of a vague fade-out with a little too much cheese. But overall still a good read.
