The author did a fabulous job writing from two different characters' perspectives - first person for Viola and third person for Carmichael. Each had their own very unique voice, and flipping between these two characters really helped keep the tension mounting throughout the book. It's scary to think what could have happened if WWII had gone differently; this series is a thought-provoking study of one possible world. I will definitely read the third installment to this series.
