Another really solid historical YA about a period of history I had no idea about! While pretty simplistic in form and execution, this has all the benchmarks of a great YA: tension between main characters, exciting action points and a healthy dose of angst. In particular, I love the characterization of the female main character, who is wonderfully stubborn and determined, but learns how to hone her impulsiveness into subtle action.
