A review by esmeralda
As Dawn Breaks by Kate Breslin

3.5

This was a book that falls into the category of books I almost didn’t read – what ended up grabbing me was (a) the taking on a new identity piece (what can I say? I love the drama that this trope usually triggers) and (b) the munitions factory focus, an area of WWII that I have read practically nothing about. 

The characters were pretty pleasant, decent people who cared about their country and families. I can’t say that they were memorable though.

The story was engaging – with some tense life-or-death moments – and it was in no way a boring read. Breslin’s writing is solid and clear, but I didn’t find it especially remarkable, and that’s the theme here I guess: As Dawn Breaks is a solid, but somewhat unremarkable read.
