The Ways We Hide (by Kristina McMorris)

I was so excited to pick up this book because it is labeled as WWII historical fiction. However, I was not as thrilled with the book as I typically am with this genre. I appreciated the magic portion of the story and found it very interesting … especially how Fenna was recruited to be part of a dangerous mission in Holland where she can use her inventions to help with the war. Fenna was an amazing woman and I loved getting to know her and her brilliant mind. The author has done amazing research and I was pleased to learn a new dynamic of WWII. I had no idea that “magic” was used. The second half of the book just seemed to crawl and it was so hard to stay invested in the story. But I think I am one of the few who didn’t care for the book that much, so I would encourage you to pick it up and give it a try. You may find that it appeals to you.
