1942. The fate of the world rests on a knife's edge. And the soldiers who can tip the balance...are girls. Set in an alternate World War II where young women are called up to fight alongside men, this is the story of Rio Richlin and her sisters-in arms as they go into battle against Hitler's forces. But not everyone believes that the girls should be on the front lines of war. Now Rio and her friends must fight not only to survive, but to prove their courage and ingenuity to a sceptical world.
This wasn't the best time to start reading this book, because my exams start tomorrow, but I just couldn't help myself. With a premise like this book, I had to read it immediately.
And it was really great! The relationships in this book seem real, the action is great and the bit of mystery the book has, because of the unknown narrative is a nice touch.
This book belongs on my favourite shelf for sure and I'm really looking forward to the next one.
