It is a very internal book and I actually really loved the introspective part of this book. I also liked that it looks at an earlier time in Hitler's rise. I was freaked out at this point! But it's always hard when you really want to LOVE a book and see that others do, but it just doesn't work for you. I know that sadness well.

Especially after reading my review, I hope I didn't give you false hope. I'm the same way as you though - if I don't care about the characters or can't form an emotional connection, the book won't work for me. I'm sorry you felt that way about this duology. :/ I hope your next read is much better!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06307895303115762938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622073970993395238.post-66181938998895410742015-04-21T13:12:32.105+02:002015-04-21T13:12:32.105+02:00I'm so sorry to hear this one didn't work ...I'm so sorry to hear this one didn't work out for you at all!

The girl MCs aren't very strongly written. I understand the time is when girls are mainly in the house and do 'easy' work and all that, but shit, it's a freaking book, let them branch out! I don't need them crying and thinking all the time, i need action, adventure, something going on!!!<br /><br />I'm glad i read your review, i wanted to read this books, but i think i'll pas on them for now.<br /><br />brooke @ <a href="https://booklife4life.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">booklife4life</a>booklife4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10079152533708456369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622073970993395238.post-56937422791476087162015-04-21T03:43:52.251+02:002015-04-21T03:43:52.251+02:00I haven't read the first book, but oh that'...I haven't read the first book, but oh that's too bad. I've seen some very warm reception for this book, and much as I love historical fiction, I feel like the lack of happenings will get to me, too.

It was a 2.5-3.0-star-read for me, which was disappointing, because I actually really enjoyed the first book. Things definitely weren't as interesting with Hitler rarely in the picture... overall this one just seemed boring to me. There were other things that annoyed me but in the end, I'm glad I stuck it out and read the series. It's too bad it's a duology, the ending to this book seemed a bit anticlimactic, in terms of Hitler and history. Oh well!<br /><br />Excellent review, Carina!<br /><br />Alyssa @ <a href="http://eaterofbooks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Eater of Books!</a>Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.com
