lisdweer 's review for:

Caging Skies by Christine Leunens
2.0

Read up until the half-way point if you'd prefer not to get caught up in a slog of random elements that don't go anywhere and an increasing sense of boredom. Johannes starts off interesting enough -- indoctrinated by the Hitlerjugend and other Nazi propaganda, but with revolutionary parents who are attempting to protect a Jewish girl, but then his character takes a deep dive and at no point does he redeem himself. Elsa is hardly better and I've already forgotten most about her.

I would recommend the first part. Consider it an open end and leave it be once his parents die.
