I’ve been waiting not so patiently for 2024 to begin so I could read this book without the December busyness. It was worth the wait and it was such a good read to kick off my reading year. 
 
Tired of feeling helpless as the war rages around her and taking her loved ones to the battlefield, Nina and her friend Katya enlist as pilots in an all-female aviation regiment — the first of its kind. Here, Nina is faced with the harshest realities of war and what people do in desperate situations. 
 
The story focuses on Nina and her perspective, but Katya, Anton, and Vlad at wonderful supporting characters. I especially liked the focus on Nina and Katya’s lifelong friendship as they face the war together, how things used to be, and how things might be in the future. 
 
This is the second book by Lana Kortschik I’ve read and I fell in love with it. I enjoy her writing style and I especially enjoy her characters. The book kept a great pace. There’s quite a bit of action and even a couple of twists which kept things interesting from start to finish. I’m excited to see more books from this author! 
 
A huge thanks to Harper360 for sending me an ARC of this book!
