I really liked this book, though not quite as much as the first one in the series. The world-building and atmosphere were just as good, but the characters were just a little weaker. And the mystery plot was mostly done well, but I was left scratching my head a little at the end. There was a clue given near the beginning of the story that was never actually used in any way, unless I simply missed it. Still, the story played out well.
I love the history that this series brings to life, and learning about the ATA and Attagirls was the best part of the book. The American fighter pilot Poppy grows close to in the previous book, Griff, is in this one as well. Readers hoping to see their relationship ramp up may be disappointed, but I personally don't mind the struggles they're going through, only partly related to the differences between their cultures. Poppy comes to realize during this book that she may be offering Griff more than just "British reserve" due to her own past, but Griff shows that he can handle it. I wonder if we're seeing shades of the author's relationship with her husband, she being British and he being American. Either way, it's a much more realistic-feeling "romance" than most you find in books, and I like it.
Poppy's continued inner voice of the main character of the novels she's still writing is a quirk that doesn't detract from the novel at all, in my opinion. Like the previous book, I enjoyed the experience this book provided and would recommend you give it a try if either of the genres interest you. I may have to wait half a year for the next book to come out, but I'll definitely be watching for it.… (plus d'informations)
