Reviews

[Terri M. LeBlanc]

It was nice to return to Scotland and see a bit more of the world and characters that Elizabeth Wein introduced to us in Code Name Verity. While not as emotionally strong as “Verity” and Rose Under Fire, this is a nice addition to that world and uncovers another bit of history.

I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
