OMG!!!!!!! This book has made me so happy! I'm so impressed and cannot be more thankful to Amy Trueblood for blessing me with such a thrilling read!
The story centers around an AMAZING heroine
named Grace Lefferty. She is one of the rising female barnstormers in the Roaring Twenties, a time when pilots from World War I decide to continue flying and pursuing their dreams in Flying Circuses. She and her team, the Soaring Eagles, are saving up for Chicago's World Aviation Expo, and the prize is a multi-year contract with the famous Palm Coast Studios. And when the team recruits a new mechanic, Henry Patton, Grace starts to wonder if she can have both the life of a female wing-walker and have the love of a man who sees her as an equal.
I LOVE how Trueblood layers her characters!!!! I was so entranced and felt EVERYTHING the characters felt, almost like I was living out their stories with them. That's how you know a book is amazing, my friends.
The writing is also phenomenal. I was so impressed by how well everything was developed; the plot, characters, setting, EVERYTHING was so fleshed out and beautiful. Every time I had to stop reading, I was so excited to pick my book back up. The plot is a tad predictable and there were a few conversations that were a little cheesy, but I loved what little predictability and corny-ness (that's totally a word) there is. Honestly, guys, it's either unnoticeable while reading or it just made the story better, I can't tell which one.
I have to say, I struggle with getting out of my comfort zone, and books are no exception. YA fantasy and science fiction are my go-tos, but I know I should read more contemporary romance and historical fiction. I love romance and I love history... so don't ask me why I'm so dumb because I don't know why. But I am so glad that I received this book from NetGalley. SO GRATEFUL.
I can't stress to you guys how much you need to read this book! It's so frickin amazing and thrilling, but it's not just a light read - it's deep and sweet and just great.
Please, PLEASE, go get this book! Au revoir, my fellow bookworms.
Thank you SO MUCH NetGalley, Amy Trueblood, and Flux for bestowing this gem upon me in exchange for an honest review.
Feel free to comment your opinions! I love to see how other people feel about these novels, too.
