We Rule the Night

by Claire Eliza Bartlett

What the Union of the North asks, they must give. Even their lives.

Seventeen-year-old Revna is a factory worker, manufacturing war machines for the Union of the North. When she's caught using illegal magic, she fears being branded a traitor and imprisoned. Meanwhile, on the front lines, Linne defied her father, a Union general, and disguised herself as a boy to join the army. They're both offered a reprieve from punishment: use your magic in a special women's military flight unit, and undertake terrifying, deadly missions under cover of darkness.

Revna and Linne can hardly stand to be in the same cockpit. But if they can't fly together, and they can't prove their worth to the war effort, they won't be safe from the consequences of their misdeeds. And if they can't find a way to fly well, the enemy's superior firepower will destroy them...if they don't destroy each other first.

We Rule the Night combines the military intrigue and magic of the Grisha trilogy with the complex female wartime friendship of Code Name Verity.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Full review on Paging Serenity.

We Rule the Night is a magical read with enchanting world-building and characters you can’t help but root for despite their flaws. It's more of a 4.5 star read for me, though.
