Engaging story once you get into it
I have really enjoyed and am grateful for Elizabeth Wein's books. Code Name Verity remains a favorite book of mine, and I have read many others of hers and have enjoyed the historic aspect of them. I've learned quite a bit, too!
This one took a bit to fully enthrall me. All of the young characters had soooo much emotion early on. That needed more of a build. It was a lot. Truly seemed YA, whereas her other books did not seem so.
But I got into this book and the story line. And really enjoyed it. I regret that Lady Frith remained one dimensional throughout, but the central characters had a lot of flesh to them. In terms of possible triggers, there is murder, talk of traumatic moments, and someone unaliving themselves.
But if you've enjoyed Elizabeth Wein's other books on WWII female pilots, I recommend this.
