Trigger warnings: murder, gun violence, death, threat of war, racism, antisemitism.
I LOVE the way that Elizabeth Wein weaves incredible stories around her love of historic planes, and Code Name Verity is, always and forever, one of my favourite young adult books. So when I saw that this was a combination of badass female pilot and the interwar period and a MURDER MYSTERY, I was freaking SOLD.
This was, to be honest, a tad slow at times, but I loved the competition aspect of the story, the way it dealt with refugees caught without a country, and the way many of the characters discover similarities between themselves over the course of the story. So yeah, it's definitely not my favourite of Wein's books. But it was a solidly good time, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
