bethchrissink 's review for:

The Summer War by Naomi Novik
4.0

One of my very favorite things I read last month! I was wishing it was a full length novel because it was so gorgeous! But what Novik did in under 150 pages was remarkable. She built a really well fleshed out world and dropped us into a significant war and yet I felt like I had more than enough information to understand the situation and the stakes. I loved the way threads pulled together and the whimsical, fairy tale quality (happy ending included) of the whole story. Seriously, so good, some of Novik's best work! I want more in this world!
