The Enigma Game
Reviews
Wein really knows how to write emotion and 1am christine d i e d also apparently i'm never gonna get over the verity books huh
I have been a fan of the Code Name Verity series for years now. When I heard of this, I was super excited. Seeing Ellen McEwen, Jamie, and even Julie was very refreshing (even if I knew of how her story would end). This is a companion novel to Code Name Verity and The Pearl Thief. It was interesting to know what these characters were up to after Pearl Thief and before Code Name Verity; it was also nice to have some more insight on Jamie and Ellen's character. Louisa was a very nice addition too! I thought her relationship with Jane was sweet. I also loved how the the three POV characters' roles were entwined and the way Julie's part in the story was woven to fit into all that. Some parts were slow for me and kind of dragged but as long as I get to be with these characters another time I can make do with anything.

*I got this book for the publisher for my honest thoughts* I found this book to be such a refreshing WW2 read. I really was so invested in all the POV. This book is largely connected to other books and I would highly rec. you read these books in publication order for all the characters to make a even deeper impact. This book was a nice mix action and battles and war and also spycraft and missions. I thought the three POV were able to flesh out this world. I really enjoyed how this book tackled so many issues including sexism and prejudices. I also loved how this book focused on relationship between the young and old. I really am dying to tackle more reads by this author in the future.
