Caging Skies by Christine Leunens
2.0
First 1/3: a captivating story advances swiftly whilst giving a good insight to the characters. It shows the ease with which concepts (in this case nazism) can be established in a population and the role education plays into sustaining them. Even in a well instructed family a child can be influenced by popular opinion.
The remaining 2/3: a change of pace towards an absence of action focusing on the aftermath of the beginning of the book. This section drags on not bringing something new but recycling the same idea over the rest of the book. It seems to lose the touch of the characters which become depleted of personality.
The contrast between the two parts of the book is difficult to ignore and as the beginning is the strongest it fails to provide the satisfactory development and conclusion the book initially warranted.
