First, this isn't Code Name Verity.To me, Rose Under Fire was a harder read than Verity. Verity was one of my favorite books last year. It was a heartbreaking and beautiful story about friendship and courage set during World War II that I compulsively read in a day. However, I never forgot that it was a work of historical fiction. With Rose, even though I knew it was also a work of Elizabeth Wein's ability and imagination, it felt so much like a memoir. It was so much harder to take knowing thatFirst, this isn't Code Name Verity.To me, Rose Under Fire was a harder read than Verity. Verity was one of my favorite books last year.

Hunger Games has inspired a gigantic crowd of imitators recounting the adventures of brave teens confronting fictitious dystopias. Some, like the first in the Divergent series, are inspiring and admirable. Others, like Unwind, are illiterate and jejune. What puts Elizabeth Wein far above other YA authors is her portrayal of young women facing dangers much more horrible than anything imagined by dystopian authors, horrors that really occurred in familiar highly civilized countries within my own
Sequel's always make me a little nervous. If I loved the first book , I'm afraid of being disappointed , afraid that the characters just won't be the ones I came to care about in the first book , afraid that I won't be as taken with the follow up story and it just won't get to me in the same ways . There was absolutely no need for me to be apprehensive with this book. As did Code Name Verity, this book got to me in ways that I find difficult to describe.Rose Justice is a mere teenager from a
Update 9/4/13:We loved this book so much we are doing giveaway for 2 print copies (US only)on Badass Book Reviews. Initial Thoughts: This is a book that will haunt me for a while. Rose Under Fire made me an emotional mess. It's so hard to believe that the atrocities of WWII were only about 70 years ago - and it is very hard to fathom man's inhumanity to man. Prepare yourself a box of Kleenex or two before you read this one. Make sure that you've read Code Name Verity first in order to avoid a
Before even starting with the book I thought it was going to be centred on Maddie from Code Name Verity, but I was wrong. Instead we meet a whole new character: a young American girl Rose Justice who works as a pilot for the RAF, while piloting she falls into the hands of the enemy aka Germans, then Rose lands in the concentration camp Ravensbrück, where she experiences the atrocities of the Nazis first-hand. There she develops a friendship with a small group of women in her barracks and her
From Blue Butterfly Books.Thank you, Netgalley! Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're the best ever (after Elizabeth Wein, of course).If you haven't already read my review of Code Name Verity, here's how big of a fan I am: After getting two brand new books yesterday, four tote bags worth of ARCs and other great YA books at the RT Book Convention on the 5th of May, and after lining up at least five OH MY GOD, I NEED TO READ THIS NOW books, I shoved them all aside to inhale Wein's new book.
