(Gifted from the author for my vote in the Ebook Miner group.)
DragonFly is a wild AU WWII adventure that takes the British Navy, Air Force, and Hitler himself from our own history and throws in heavy doses of Hitler's mysticism and army of talented humans and genetically modified monsters along with some pretty impressive British forces of sassy ladies (including Princess Victoria), powerful crystal-harvesting druids, and fantastic diesel punk aircraft.
It is a refreshing break from the over-saturated market of WWII fiction that focuses on true events and lets the reader experience the war as it could have been under futuristic circumstances, and its wonderful female pilots do a great job of showing that women in the air are just as tough as men without taking away their femininity. Ronnie is a smart-mouthed pilot who is a delight to read, and it was fun to watch her interact with her fellow pilots and the DragonFly scientists and mechanics. I loved the way the illustrations and photographs displayed the characters; it added a lot to the story for me to be able to see the aircraft as well as I have no background in it.
Would recommend to people wanting a grown up version of Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan, a new take on historical fiction, some fun diesel punk, or a good action story.
