It's a great way of introducing you to different perspectives that you never would have known and this book sounds perfect for that. I feel like I would probably have the same issues with the convenience and romance that you did, but all in all I'm pleased that you liked this one! I think I will move it up my tbr now. Thanks for the review, Amanda - very enlightening!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160066904665347291.post-92166226243398696232014-08-06T11:25:38.234-05:002014-08-06T11:25:38.234-05:00I've been reading mixed reviews of Prisoner o...I've been reading mixed reviews of Prisoner of Night and Fog and more of positive ones. Since then, I was so intrigued to check this book out. I agree that regime under Adolf Hitler is nothing new, but the story sounds subtly different. I will be reading this soon. Beautiful and a thoughtful review, Amanda!! :) <a href="http://honeybeeslittlecorner.wordpress.com">Honey Bee's Little World</a>https://www.blogger.com/profile/05665574587520464404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160066904665347291.post-49265833967195439542014-08-05T23:07:42.742-05:002014-08-05T23:07:42.742-05:00I love your take on this one!

Perhaps closer to the release date of the sequel. I'm glad your review covers the flaws evident in this narrative as well, Amanda, as most readers have just been gushing over this one and I haven't believed that it could really be thaaat perfect. Thanks for such a balanced review, my dear! :)Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160066904665347291.post-83759960862834934462014-08-05T18:49:02.207-05:002014-08-05T18:49:02.207-05:00I also love retelling of historical events from a ...I also love retelling of historical events from a different perspective. Really puts a spin on things I think and gives you other interesting facets to contemplate. I so agree with you on her change in mentality being far too quick and too unbelievable to be taken seriously. I'll also be back for the sequel Just saw that it's on goodreads now, not sure if you've added it! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22838220-conspiracy-of-blood-and-smoke Great review, Amanda!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964968798310433317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160066904665347291.post-720568264166343242014-08-05T16:12:07.635-05:002014-08-05T16:12:07.635-05:00I'm glad that you were able to enjoy this book...I'm glad that you were able to enjoy this book overall Amanda, despite having some issues with Gretchen's character. I do adore my historical fiction books, more so though when they provide us with a totally different perspective. I'm sure that I will be giving this book a go one day!

I borrowed the ebook copy recently but I don't think I'll have the time to get to it before it expires. But I certainly plan to read it sometime in the future, and maybe I'll borrow a physical copy instead. It sounds like the historical info is fascinating, even if the romance and believability of her transformation aren't. Wonderful review, Manda!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
