Wolf by Wolf is a reimagined history of what the world would look like in 1956 if Germany had won World War Two. Now a majority of the world is part of the Germania Empire and Yael, a girl who was experiment on in a concentration camp but managed to escape is a key part of the resistance. Yael now has to disguise herself as perfect Aryan girl Adele Wolf and take part in a motorcycle race across Germania. If she wins, she gets an audience with Hitler and she can assassinate him.

The concept of this is fascinating and I was all for it. Straightaway I was really intrigued with how Graudin was able to explain how all the allies fell one by one to Germany's control and how Germany is now ruler of all and how it affected the rest of the world. I liked that the race took the reader to so many different countries and we could see how each country was individually affected by Germania's rule - such as some Asian countries which were still allowed to keep their traditional festivals and weren't quite as rigid as Europe. Yael herself is a complex character, she appears quite cold and almost sexless most of the time, at least to me, but I didn't find her altogether convincing as a proud Resistance member. She was barely trained and untested and I know for obvious reasons she was the only person who could do a task but she had never even killed anyone before and they were making her first kill Hitler. Really? I also felt like there were so many holes in Yael and the Resistance's plan, it just didn't seem to come together well enough for me and I felt for a large portion of the time Yael was barely skimming by on just a lot of luck rather than actual skill. I did enjoy the surprise twist at the end and I will definitely read the sequel to see what happens.
