The Midwife of Berlin by Anna Stuart

adventurous challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

4.0

I was given an advanced readers copy from netgalley but this review is unbiased. This book was intriguing.  I hadn’t read the first one (saw this one on netgalley before realizing it was a sequel) but i was still able to understand and read it as a standalone. At first it was hard to keep track of the characters. Reading about the communism and the government brainwashing was unbelievable. Yes this is fiction but still it seemed like it was well researched . I had no idea the government control was to this extent. At times this book was hard to put down, but it was a lot to absorb at once, so I would put it down so I could process everything.  I liked the different personalities of the characters.
