The Ways We Hide by Kristina McMorris
4.0
3.5⭐️ rounded up
The Ways We Hide follows Fenna’s life. The opening chapter shows us that Fenna is into and very good at magic shows. Because of this she is recruited to the military to use her expertise to their advantage. We also get a look into her childhood and her relationship with Arie.
I really enjoyed the magic spin the author added to this book, but I found myself wishing it would focus more on the magic shows and less on the war.
The characters were kind of boring, but that didn’t stop me from connecting with them. Fenna’s relationship with Arie was cute and I liked that the author didn’t try to make it romantic at a young age. She let them grow up and grow into their feelings for each other.
I found myself confused, I’m not sure if I missed something when listening to this book, but I couldn’t figure out what real use the military could use with a magician. They wanted her to design things for the military, I get that, but I feel like the things she could realistically design would not be much use.
My biggest issue with this book is it was too long. When she set out to find Arie, things got boring and repetitive and I found myself wishing it would just end.
I was happy with the ending because not everything worked out perfectly. It felt more realistic that there were setbacks and death because in the real world, nothing goes according to plan.
Overall, this was a good book and I think it would be an enjoyable read for the World War lovers.
