heidirgorecki 's review for:

From the Dark We Rise by Marion Kummerow
3.0

Well written and an easy read. The story was delightfully not super predictable, and it often had you guessing what was next, while rooting for the characters.

The main reason for my reduction in rating is that I thought Margarete was a little unbelievable in how transparent her anxiety seemed. For Nazis who jumped at any little vulnerability and were good at sniffing out resistance, I found it difficult to believe she would have stayed under cover that long and not blown it. For someone in her position just knowledge of her identity wouldn’t be enough to fool people or break in the process.

Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
