The Shadow War by Lindsay Smith

4.0

3.5/4 stars!

This book is fast-paced, action packed, and full of compelling characters that I thoroughly enjoyed reading about! I am normally a fantasy and sci-fi girl but sometimes I like to dip my toe into the historical fiction waters. This was a little bit of historical fiction, little bit sci-fi, and 100% a solid book.

Tension kept me turning the pages and the whole shadow realm was a good addition to set this apart from the typical world war II era historical fiction I have read.
The characters were all pretty well-rounded and developed. The romance, while a little bit insta-love tropey, was still fun to read and a nice addition.
Over all, happy I read this one!
