| This is the UK cover--I like it a lot better than the US one :P |
I don't even know how to write a review without spoilers!! Both this book and its prequel are books you just can't write about without spoilers!
This books takes place after Code Name Verity. A few characters overlap, but when you consider the author's style of writing, that's a lot. One of the many great things about Wein's style is her ability to get the reader to deeply understand the characters, without crowding us with 10 million of them.
This book was addicting. It definitely lacked Code Name Verity's breathtaking pace, but it's still perfectly calculated and intensely profound. The core theme of friendship is also carried over in a big way.
Unfortunately, it was not as good as Code Name Verity, but Rose Under Fire was a great book in its own respect.
Final score: 9.4 out of 10
Next book: City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
